With the new maneuverability of X-Wings, they will certainly dominate same ship swarm vs. swarm. The first year of 2.0 will be an inverse of 1.0 in my opinion. Only the most experienced will be able to fly opposing swarms and win. The game is going to be it's namesake in spades; it's the plan. I can't wait to get my Porkins, Wedge, Skywalker squad out and fly like I use to fly Interceptors! Woohoo!
I wouldn't count the other classic rebel ships out just because the X-wing doesn't move like a rooted stump anymore
the B-wing could be ridiculous for all we know, and if the Y gets a worthwhile turret it will be a great compliment to any swarm formation. Plus if you fly Xs and Ys you get to call it A New Hope and start 2.0 the right way
and if the A-wing is cheap enough...well, the A-wing almost single handedly got Nathan to wave 7 worlds back when blocking mattered
and the Z...no, **** the Z. that was one of the most boring things I've ever flown
Edited by ficklegreendiceI just want to fly an A wing swarm. I mean I do it now too but it would be awesome if it was more competitive.
If somehow 2 attack dice ship matter in 2.0, I’d assume A-Wings would be the go-to for rebels for a mini swarm. I kinda hope Z-95s don’t become a thing, as they’re boring in the extreme when it’s all that’s there.
Actually playing against a Feedback Swarm was kind of fun. It presented a tough challenge as you did not want to get enveloped in it.
It was pretty funny that some people actually thought it was good.
I'm thinking 2 X-wings and 3 Zs packing a missile are going to be pretty good.
Edited by Jo JoWe've literally seen nothing about the z95s, right?
They might also be getting barrel roll. I'm certain that we've seen them do the maneuver in The Clone Wars (well, at least the GR version of the Z95).
There dials should still be worse than the X-Wing or TF but I could realistically see them getting a reposition move which will make them more interesting in a swarm.
