I really like the V-wing aesthetically, so i thought what could a V-Wing squadron look like in Armada? Statswise, if you follow what seems to have been FFGs model of adapting lore stats/stats from X-Wing the V-wing should have either 3 or 4 hull (its a interceptor with sields), depending on your interpretation of the shields strenght and probably at least speed 4 and counter 2. Only a blue against ships because no missiles like the A-wing. But that would make the V-wing seem like a pretty bland mix of A-Wing and TIE Interceptor, so i came up with the following:
V-Wing Interceptor Squadron
Hull: 4
Speed: 4
Antisquad: 1 red, 1 black
Antiship: 1 blue
Counter 2
Swarm
Grit
Cost 11 (?)
I thought that Grit would really fit a nimble interceptor squadron and it would be the first generic non-bomber to have it. With a swarm-provided double hit on the red and the likely 1 damage from the black you can still oneshot vultures and tris with a lucky hit but you rely more on the V-Wings Counter ability and its Grit-provided movement freedom. Against Aces the V-wing obviously struggles though.
What do you think? Is it interesting and different enough from the existing interceptors while still holding true to the ships lore?
