I'm wanting to load 4 TIE Bombers on a Gozanti. Which ordnance would work?

Concusion missles, along with guideance chips guarantees 2 hits.

Proton Torpedos - with guidance chips only guarantees 1 hit, but a focus can be turned into a crit. (If a focus is rolled)

It appears that concusion missles is better. Other suggestions?

Not sure if you really want to have your long range bombers loaded on the Gozanti. I was thinking this was going to be about bombers with actual bombs which might be a sweet idea to have them come out and immediately drop bombs on pursuers. I just feel like the long range bombers do better in opening joust alpha strikes and don't want to be coming out in the middle of the action. Just my 2 cents though. If you do want to drop guys in closer why not go for Cluster Missiles?

Nah, it will work out. I've never heard anybody complain about range control with TIE bombers launched from the Gozanti. The fact that you can see the whole field after everybody else has moved means that you can guarantee your target locks.

Personally, Concussion Missiles speak to me. It stacks really nice with a focus token + Guidance Chips to almost guarantee 4 hits. That's what I would go with. Fleet Officer on the Gozanti can help you get the focus tokens, but so can Coordinate action and Grand Moff Tarkin. There are lots of options.

And a very good point. My other option was to run with 4 TIE Interceptors. My only issue is that the launching sequence doesn't keep the ships in close formation, that fighters need.

I have Fleet Officer, I like that idea. That way the action can be spent with reinforce.

Proton Torps are better if you don't have a focus token. There are 2/8 focus on a die that you can convert to a crit. Concussions convert a blanks to hits there are 2/8 blacks on a die (you have to roll a blank just like rolling a focus for the torps). The odds are the same but the torps get a crit not a hit.

If you have a focus token though Concussions guarantee 2 hits with chips and you're likely to get 4 hits like @Parakitor says (and I'd also recommend Fleet Officer to get those tokens but make sure you take Automated Protocols).

@Skeether the fact you deploy the bombers last means you get get them in a good place and get target locks even with cheap low cost PS2 Bombers. Any ordnance on a Bomber, Advanced or SF is much enhanced when carefully deployed from a Gozanti. Although there is some extra satisfaction deploying right in the enemies face and unloading Clusters!

@Sasajak- ok, I've got to try that out then; just sounds brutal. Lol
