A lot of turns you probably wouldn't use it but if you're attacking and defending, it's almost like having a Perceptive Copilot.

Target lock > Calculate would make more sense. It would be a nice offensive buff for the ship.
So in the past, the TLJ, FO, Rogue one ships have been released or worked on before the films hit the cinemas. This has meant that there were some silly things, which were missed due to limited material being made available to FFG. For example TIE FO being sluggish, Tie Silencer having a bad sculpt etc..
They haven't made the same mistake with Solo and the Tie Brute. I am hoping that this is because they have learnt from their mistakes and wanted to wait until the film was released before developing the new ship, however it is probably that they are currently far too busy with x-wing 2.0.

Also remember the Flux the Solo movie has existed in the last year, new director, massive reshoots, nobody, not even Disney have probably been aware what would end up in the final movie until at few months ago. This ship did not make it for example Arrestor Cruiser
Whoah.. I didn't know they had gone so far as to just cut out entire ships!
I'm all down for the TIE Brute being included. I'm hoping they'll also include the rest of the TIE variants from canon and Legends like the TIE Hunter, TIE Raptor and TIE Scout for Empire, the Calrissian Runner for Rebels, and the Red TIE Fighter and Kybo Ren TIE for Scum.
I am not so keen on those other tie variants, especially the Tie hunter, which seems to be just silly powercreep.
Just had a look at the other ships you mentioned and no no no! 
I don't want the rebels to have more ties and also for the scum.

TIE Avenger and TIE Hunter are the only TIEs remaining (of the EU) that matter.

That makes the most sense so far.
SPOILER ALERT
Also, considering how it goes down in the movie, it could be « Rocked badly »

Laser cannon is what spaceships have
Except for all the blaster cannons that older ships have, like the older Z-95s have triple blaster cannons....

Is that a Cylon in the gunner seat?
Never a fan of asymmetrical TIE designs. Also wish it wasn't just the standard TIE Fighter wing panels...AGAIN.
A lot about this thing I don't like. But it's an Imperial TIE. So I'm still probably going to buy 2.

It appears on the recruitment poster in the Corellian spaceport but thankfully doesn't show up beyond that.

It has horizontal symmetry.

I think it would be neat to see the TIE Droid now that we have the Calculate action and see what they do with that.
But yeah, I still wouldn't say it actually matters.
I would like to see it with a front and rear arc and able make two attacks with 2 dice out of the same arc each turn. Maybe have the ship ability to gain a calculate whenever you take a focus action, but focus for defense only and calculate for attacking only.
For 2.0, I'm thinking:
3 (turret)/2/5/0
Focus
Target lock linked to calculate
Rotate linked to calculate
Red barrel roll
Rotating Blaster: You can only rotate your turret arc to your fore arc or aft arc.
That seems suitably unique.

Don't forget the TIE Scout. It could serve-...
...A role honestly, the Phantom II serves.

I like that they kept the standard TIE panels. It helps keep the imagery of the Empire strict.

But it's so ugly!
It has a role we need, but I think a TIE Shuttle 2.0 would be enough.
