TLT spam is simple and consistent. It's also controversial.

I suggest you take a list you enjoy, one you've practiced with. If that list is TLT Spam, then go for it.

It's a minor change, but I think it might help

I'd simply go for 4x Syndicate Thug + TLT + Unhinged. Keep your ships well spaced and watch your formation to minimize the number of enemies that get into your donut holes, and you shouldn't miss the ion cannon turrets (they're especially weak in the large ship-dominated metagame). You should do OK most of the time.

I love the Y-wings and will be playing a similar list. I was considering 3 x TLT and a single Ion Cannon just to be annoying to the small base Aces that will likely show up (Ya you Miranda). All with Unhinged Astromechs for continuity flying. Might be a mistake but I really like the list. Simple, which makes it less likely I will forget something.
