Just testing the app export really. This is a squad I'm thinking of trying next.

Without Perceptive Copilot, I think Kyle is an anemic support choice, especially given how much he costs and how fragile he is. I also think Dutch is far better as an ordnance carrier than as a turret platform. I would switch up his equipment and drop Kyle for another ship. I kind of like this list, since it synergizes with Arvel Crynyd and can really tear into anything it blocks:

Arvel Crynyd (36)
Intimidation (3)
Proton Rockets (7)

Jake Farrell (40)
Proton Rockets (7)

"Dutch" Vander (42)
Expert Handling (2)
Proton Torpedoes (9)
R3 Astromech (3)

Heff Tobber (45)
Intimidation (3)
"Zeb" Orrelios (1)
Tactical Officer (2)

Total: 200

That's some sound advice. I really want marksmanship for pushing crits with the procket. I'm not a fan of Zeb for return fire. I'm thinking this is more to my liking.

I played 3 games with A Wings last night I managed 2 Proton Rocket shots in total. It's really hard!

Played again tonight and got a lot more rockets off. Jeez they are lethal when you can fire them!

Alright this is much better even though I took out a proton rocket. Arvel can now ionize his prey before going to ramming speed. Jake comes in for the proton rocket kill. The support ensures everyone is fully modified. This is all theory. Now I need to fly it.

I like the switch to ion on Arvel. Prockets on him are a little awkward because he prefers bumping.

Squad Leader HWKs are quickly becoming a favorite of mine as well.
