There really isn't any comparison in my opinion. Jam is simply too weak of a mechanic to have any use in a competitive match. They just killed it with all the limitations it has. Even at IV 0, coordinate is still good because you can still give them their focus or evade early, so that they can take their own action like TL, Barrel Roll, or Boost at their higher initiative.

You will increase your odds of losing by taking Jam actions.

Waaa?

Jam is very good.... and in the right lists and circumstance i will take the option to jam over coordinate any day.

Play some games with a jam ship. 1 Action to counter 1 (or 2 with the crew) is crazy good because you can use a cheaper ship or ship that does not really need its actions to remove a critical action from your opponent. Nothing is more satisfying then removing a target lock from a long range scanners ship before it gets a chance to shoot its missile.

So after only playing Jam Reapers I went to a small tournament today with Vermeil and Krennic/tactical officer.

I loved the coordinate action. You can still jam and I was when needed (Poe etc). But the ability to give an action to Vader or Sabacc before they moved was great. Vader with pseudo advanced optics is lovely. Also, it feels much less abusive than jam.

Im sure Jam is objectively better but I think there is a place for coordinate Reapers.

I won the tournament by the way ?
