I also feel they will be harder to hit. They have jamming systems but that's for hit avoidance, not for comms jamming. Maybe they'll gain both Vectored Thrusters AND Full Throttle. It's make sense and uses existing "Ship Abilities".
Something along the lines of 'When you boost, remove 1 target lock from yourself' would be cool. Or even a linked action boost >> red jam
Thought I’d revive this rather than start a new topic, based on the picture here:

Looks like some of you were right with the front/back-only Mobile arc concept. Any good guesses on what the turret will look like, more exactly? I’m starting to get good and excited for this ship ?

I think it will just be a 2 attack primary turret.
Looks like the same dial as the A-Wing, but has blue 3 banks!
The real question is are we going to run these guys in small, generic swarms or are we going to get a couple of decent 'named' pilots and run them as a three aces list? ?

The T-70 is the same; nigh identical to the T-65 but with more blue on the dial.
I'm an X-Wing driver by heart, though I've dabbled in RZ-1s for the Rebels and Defenders and Interceptors for the Imperials, and I'm quite excited to see what the RZ-2 brings to the table. The rear arc will be useful for shaking off/deterring pursuit, and I think both L'ulo and Talli will both have a place in viable Resistance lists. The "Heroic" EPT, if not prohibitively expensive, looks to be an auto-include if, like me, the dice gods hate you
I'm quite excited, actually!
This is why I'm playing Resistance. They're better but more expensive Rebels.

We know of two Init 5 aces for the RZ-2, L’ulo and Talli, which puts it ahead of the RZ-1 aces anyway.

By the looks of Talli, she's going to be a great support character/escort (like in the movies) while L'ulo could really put the hurt on something while stressed (I wouldn't want him slooping behind me at range 1). So I'm expecting to see some interesting variations on lists which provide mutual support, or forgo support entirely to hit like a ton of bricks early on and at high initiative.
Tech slot.
+1 Shield.
Built-in B.roll.
Jam would be awesome and different.
I'd take Jam on the RZ2 instead of prockets, and they'd dogfight totally different than the almost suicide style of the RZ1s.
....but it looks like ordinance is a thing on these guys, anyway.

I think Resistance will follow similar patterns to the best Rebel lists. A mix of three to four named and generic pilots, or two to three really solid named pilots.
