cuz blue angels are blue and gold, and Y wings and B wings fly like bricks, get it? get it? (i'll go home now)

2x Blue Sq + FCS + Ion cannon + Flechette Torps + Tactician: 32/ea

Gold Sq + R2-D2 + Extra Munitions + Bomb Loadout + TLT + Vectored Thrusters + Cluster mines or seismic charges: 36/34

100/98

fly the B-wings together at the enemy's scariest thing and just ion and stress it until it's dead or flies off the board

the Y-wing flies interference against everything else and protects the B-wings' rear

what about flechette cannon on the b-wing instead?

i thought about that but Ion torps are 5 pts a pop and i already have tactician, flechette torps are mostly filler

get a y wing that is actually a threat, 23-d2 is a waste I think . 1 &2 green straights only? no thanks

and really i'd drop the bombs and put vectored thrustsers back on

flechette cannon, not torps.

for my stupid idea to work it needs both ion and stress, tactician give stress already, but for ions i only have torps or cannon

if i replace the ion cannon with stress cannon, i can quad stress a ship but it's not ion'd, i need the ion cannons more than i need the stress torps

unfortunately the stress cannon doesn't give stress if the target is already stressed, but you would be able to triple stress if both tacticians trigger. I think sticking with the ion cannon is best.

As Kentc86 just pointed out, the huge downside to Fletchette Cannon is that it cannot stack stress. For that reason alone I don't consider it if the torpedo is available, or anything else that can stack stress, like Tactician. I think you're already on the right track with the Tacti-B's + Ion Cannons, once that combo hits is pretty mean and there's virtually no escape. I would look for a way to squeeze in Fire Control Systems for insurance though, 3 naked greens can almost match 3 naked reds.

Can we ditch the bombs and put expertise on Horton instead?

While normally i would agree, i'm just feeling the jank with bombs, especially if they are trying to chase you down and get to range one on you.

Clusters provide a nice large no fly zone.

nope, i like the Adaptability for vectored engines out of r1

you can keep the VT's. Ditch Bombs, and Em's and that is 4-5 points.
