Thought about using this list to have a little fun with bombers, I imagine it would be a game of lacking target priority beyond Jonus. I do see some problem with target locks but its a lot of hull to eat through regardless!

I also can see this list having some fun with swapping out torpedoes for homing missiles and proton bombs (alternatively one can drop jonus and do bombs and torpedos)

What do you think?

TIE/sa Bomber - •Captain Jonus - 51
•Captain Jonus - Disciplined Instructor (36)
Proton Torpedoes (9)
Concussion Missiles (6)

TIE/sa Bomber - Scimitar Squadron Pilot - 37
Scimitar Squadron Pilot - (28)
Proton Torpedoes (9)

Total: 199/200

these guys are going to get killed anyways and will likely get the reroll from jonus, shouldn't they get a bit more of a bang using proton torpedos?

You need Jendon shuttle if you are using proton torps to get that lock.

Scim Bombers are I2 so you will have trouble getting a lock on first engagement, which is why barrage missiles are for jonus bombers. The 2nd round you can get a lock but will be arc dodged or range 1 of enemy, possibly losing 2 bombers (one is jonus) before they can fire 1 proton torp.

did not consider that....also why im not much of a tournament player! Im just a gal with 5 tie bombers and an appetite for destruction! However barrage missiles and bombs sounds like some serious fun!

Now im looking at this Bad Boy to wreck some face

IT IS!

You have a couple choices:

An initiative 5 alpha barage swarm. All 5 bombers fire at initiative five so Jonus isnt PS killed by something like Wedge and Luke with proton torpedoes, etc. before your bombers fire. Could also erase another jonus or any other PS4 ship before they fire at jonus!
