Dual Decimators after FAQ?

By nogarder, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Greetings. Tomorrow I would like to try a list of two decimators, taking advantage of the fact that we have a new FAQ.
Any recommendation? I thought of something like that. Thanks ¡

Rear Admiral Chiraneau — VT-49 Decimator 46
Veteran Instincts 1
Darth Vader 3 or Plasma Torpedoes+Gidance Chips
Ship Total: 50
Captain Oicunn — VT-49 Decimator 42
Trick Shot 0
Rebel Captive 3
Kylo Ren 3
Dauntless 2
Ship Total: 50

I prefer Vader to Plasma Torpedos. I'll mention that Vader's crit doesn't trigger Kylo's condition, even though that's probably common knowledge by now. However, I don't want to have to worry about arc on RAC, and Vader can deal some nasty crits against any stray aces out there.

Another option would be to put Rebel Captive on RAC, and put Mara Jade on Oicunn, to double-down on stress mechanics.

Lastly, replacing Rebel Captive and Darth Vader with a Gunner for Oicunn might be wise. If he's using Kylo's action each turn, he won't have any dice mods. Getting Gunner will cover for some of that. In that case, I'd drop Veteran Instincts, and give RAC an Ion Bomb and Adaptability or Trick Shot.

All in all, seems fine. It might not be as strong as putting Kylo on RAC (as is common these days) and taking something like Quickdraw or Darth Vader in his own TIE, but I'm sure it'll be fun to bring double Decimators.

Double Deci:

RAC: VI, EU (51)

Oicunn: Trick Shot, Vader, Kylo, Courier Droid (48)

If you have VI RAV you don't get most from PS10 unless you also have EU. Also RAC with Vader seems 'wrong' to burn health on your best ship.

I used to play this:

Chiraneau + Lone Wolf + Engine Upgrade
Oicunn + Tick Shot + Darth Vader + Rebel Captive

Today, I would exchange Vader for Kylo Ren.

After playing a couple of games, I have to say, the DD suffer too much tension, they only have 4 green movements. I have won 1 and lost another, and in none of the 2 I have barely been able to do anything.
