Does this squadron look sound?

Soontir Fel - Swarm Tactics and Stealth Device

Howlrunner - Swarm Tactics and Stealth Device

Saber Squadron Pilot - Swarm Tactics

Saber Squadron Pilot

99 Points Total

If kept in a tight formation I am thinking I'd get the following out of this squad:

Soontir - Int 9 - 3 attack - reroll 1 attack die - 4 agility until hit

Howlrunner - Int 9 (because of ST) - 2 attack - 4 agility until hit

SSP - Int 9 (because of ST) - 3 attacks - reroll 1 attack die

SSP - Int 9 (because of ST) - 3 attacks - reroll 1 attack die

So 11 attacks at Int 9 with 3 possible die rerolled and 2 ships with agility 4 until hit. Does this look sound?

My X-Wing Squadron ripped through a few lists like that..

He can stack ST from Soontir all the way to Sabre…..giving him 9 ATTK all the way down…but keeping your guys close like that, isn't as effective as it used to be.

I'd give the other sabre squad determination - or something to bring your squad up to 100 points - it's better for the opponent to have the initiative when you are relying on maneuverability from boost and barrel roll.
