Can we make triple b-wings viable?

By Estarriol, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Inspired in part be the recent t-70 topic and the fact I've got an Original Trilogy tournament coming up, I feel like flying something unusual. Once upon a time we considered the humble b-wing the most points efficient ship in the game, and there are several very strong aces available. Can anyone come up with anything cool?

I did run Ten Nunb and Keyan Farlander alongside Jan Ors once a while ago which sort of worked, but Hawks weren't in the OT so that one's out! Lol.

Not sure they're ever going to be viable until they have the above ability to K-Turn past large ships. But, this would be fun, I think:

(99)

Ten Numb (41) - B-Wing
A Score To Settle (0), Fire Control System (2), "Mangler" Cannon (4), B-Wing/E2 (1), C-3PO (3)

Keyan Farlander (34) - B-Wing
Rage (1), Fire Control System (2), B-Wing/E2 (1), Inspiring Recruit (1)

Blue Squadron Pilot (24) - B-Wing
Fire Control System (2)

Other than this, I've had decent results with 3 basic B-Wings alongside R2-D2 Biggs.

I'm not sure 3 is enough of a presence on the board any more to be competitive. 4 Blues with advanced sensors can do quite a bit of tricks but then you don't get quite the modified shots as with FCS.

This is my best shot at having 3 named pilots. I honestly don't think Ten Numb is worth the price of admission so I choose Nera instead as she can skirt around asteroids and fire proton torps out of arc. Ibtisam is your annoying blocker that moves before anything and can constantly do red moves like K-turns and Hard 1 Turns and still get rerolls on offense and defense. And then Keyan just action efficient and can hunt down lower pilot skill ships with good damage. But they still can all be dropped easily with the one agility. Could be fun though if you like B-wings and this kind of gives it some flavor.
