Tie Aggressor? WTF?

By angrymike, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Does the Empire want to lose?

Common, this is an expensive ship with week shields and to be quite frank, will be easy prey on the board. Not worth adding missiles when you can get a Tie bomber that is sturdier and cheaper?

Am I missing something here, unless the dial is amazing, like freaky fast and maneuverable like a regular tie, then maybe. Otherwise, the Rebels and Scum ships in this wave is where my money is going. Although I may pick one of these up because they are cool looking, but even there the Rebels and Scum ships got that covered too!

It's the first imperial ship with a Turret slot...

It can barrel roll...

With lightweight frame it can roll 3 green defence die which is more than a lot of Turret spam lists...

It'll be super interesting to see how it does.

Turrets. They exist so that Empire A) has access to TLT and (B) so that they can print TLT, LWF, etc in more than one expansion. It has dual missiles so that they could create Unguided Missiles...

We also have no clue what the elite pilots do. There is basically any number of reasons to love this ship. You also have to look at all the Imp ships; low hull and low shield are the name of the game.
