Bad experience flying against him? Or are you hating it because of the way his ability works in general?

Maybe they just dislike the way he has a 4 attack range 1 at PS9 against any arc dodger. But then again that meta had no arc dodging.

If my memory serves me right you are able to shoot torpedoes out of your front arc even if your mobile arc is facing to the left and you can shoot REVENGE TORPEDOES! this means you will have and just keep a 180 degree arc to the left as the JM5K likes going left anyway. So i feel it's going to be better than people expect because on the joust you will not want to attack Dengar if he's going to shoot a 4 dice torp at you for the second time in 1 round. Correct me if I am wrong, Round 1 linked action to rotate arc to the left Round 2 green move Round 3 bank in but keep to the left Round 4 go straight. Now in this position you have a massive arc and if you are in his front arc thats 8 dice thrown from 1 ship or 4 dice and no damage taken. Does this sound familiar... that's right OG Dengar is back!...... With a shocking dial..... and not 360 arc....but that doesn't really matter... right? Just kidding but to be honest i'm quite happy to have torpedoes back.

You can shoot two torpedoes out the front IF you have a target lock (shouldn't be too hard to get) and you don't modify the first shot. Which means if you shoot first (which you frequently will), you don't get to modify the shot if you want to be able tot ake a revenge shot. Then, if you roll poorly, they could just attack someone else to deny the reevnge shot, and now you wasted the chance to modify your FIRST shot. Or you mod the first hsot and don't get a revenge shot at all.

And IIRC no torpedo has more than2 charges, so you only get to do 2 shots in one round with torpedoes one time. Then you're back to needing your mobile arc forward for his ability to work.

Ouch that makes it sound a lot worse ? what about getting IG88 Crew so you get a calculate for both attacks?

Depending on costs and whether the Jumpmaster has a gunner slot, Han+Perceptive Co-pilot looks much better IMO.

Now that you say it that looks like it's going to be the standard build for dengar, a bit like the Expertise/K4 build.
