2.0. Revenge of the Gunboat

By BadMotivator, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So skimming through the upgrades, gunboats are gonna be stupid amazing. I got two lists,

List 1

198/200 points

Major Vynder(41): OS-1(0), Fire Control System(3), Adv Slam(3), Saturation Salvo(6), Proton Torpedoes(9), Ion Missiles(4), Homing Missiles(3): 69 pts

Lt Karsabi(39): OS-1(0), Fire Control System(3), Adv Slam(3), Saturation Salvo(6), Proton Torpedoes(9), Ion Missiles(4), Homing Missiles(3): 67 pts

Rho Squadron Pilot(37): OS-1(0), Fire Control System(3), Adv Slam(3), Saturation Salvo(6), Proton Torpedoes(9), Ion Missiles(4): 62 pts

List 2

200/200 points

Nu Squadron Pilot(35): OS-1, Fire Control System(3), Adv Slam(3), Proton Torpedoes(9): 50 pts

Nu Squadron Pilot(35): OS-1, Fire Control System(3), Adv Slam(3), Proton Torpedoes(9): 50 pts

Nu Squadron Pilot(35): OS-1, Fire Control System(3), Adv Slam(3), Proton Torpedoes(9): 50 pts

Nu Squadron Pilot(35): OS-1, Fire Control System(3), Adv Slam(3), Proton Torpedoes(9): 50 pts

So with Adv Slam, the Gunboats can acquire target locks on the initial engagement, and just Focus/Reload on the following engagements once Target lock is up. FCS gives them 1 free reroll vs all their targets.

Seem good?

Seems very good. Thats a LOT of dice, and there's next to no risk of not getting the shots off, barring range.
