Let’s say, hypothetically, Imperial bomber lists (Non-Thrawn, non-RS) were to work. If I were to build a bomber wing, and had 33 points to spare, which of the following would you recommend?

1. Dengar and Tempest (To complement an already-added Zertik, totaling an even, commandable squad count.) Defense tokens, better bombing ability, more escort hull, free counter 1.

2. Two Jumpmasters and Black Squadron (again complementing Zertik, totaling an odd, commandable squad count.) Better Intel coverage, more total hull, less susceptible to getting sniped.

The numbers of escorts seem the same so 2 is as susceptible as snipe than the 1. It will take probably the same shots to pit down Dengar than 2 jm depending on accuracies and number of blue dice basically. Black is good but not tough so will end with Zertik trying to protect both jm so... One will be dead quickly and you will find yourself with the same intel coverage.

I guess I would go with Dengar. Better against ships unless it is an Sloane fleet where blue dice from jms and black could worth it.
