BBBY Squad Explanation

By s1ickrick, in X-Wing

Found this squad on meta wing. He won a 24 person tournament with it.

Why would he not take Gold Pilot on Y-wing and take the title? Since you can’t stress with R3-A2 when attacking from outside your arc.

Because he can fire outside his arc if there's nothing to shoot at, just not deal stress.

Somebody did really well with this version last year at some event or other, I forget. But yeah, he's not the first person to do this.

Either it's intentional that its easier to fly and you hit more often or it was entered in wrong.

How far down in meta wing?!

Expertise Wookie Libs are at PS 3, the Grey Squadron shoots first at PS 4 and stresses to shut that down on one.

If you are stressing someone to turn off Advanced Sensors or punish someone for taking Push the Limit, then you don't need two stress to shut them down. You can also shoot out of arc when the initial joust is over so the ship is viable for longer in the match.

I think this is a meta choice and apparently worked for that individual so they made the right choice.

The blue and the grey. Now I’m hearing that old Civil War chess set commercial in my head:

...love seeing classic ships winning!

Probably because of Panic Attack.

Standard Stresshog is kinda weak right now, I suppose. You can’t ever turn around, so it’s pretty tough to get shots after the first pass. If it were me, I’d drop it to Gold, add the title, and throw E2+Inspiring Recruit on one of the B-Wings.
