A Wing Squad

By privateer5, in X-Wing

Anybody have any good Squads using A Wings ?

4 Green Squadron A-wings with Veteran Instincts and either Homing Missiles or Assault Missiles or a mix of the two (depends on your local metagame as to which is the better pick).

Veteran Instincts means that your Awings will move after and shoot before all of the unnamed pilots, making it easier to get off an early volley of missiles to do some damage. After that you can use the decent PR to help you stay out of the fire arcs of rookie enemies and hopefully pull out the win.

It's hardly an invincible squad but it can be competitive.

I've flown it. It is a good squad but not unbeatable.

Im real keen on the idea of it.

i like the idea of the pilot skill 1's in there to disrupt opponent moves though rather than upgrading them.

Instead of the VI or Deadeye, I prefer to bring 3 Green Squadron w/ PtL and Concussion missiles, and a Prototype with a Homing Missile. You're only PS 3, but that is higher than common choices like Rookie X-Wings or Alpha Squadrons, and you can pull a lot of cool things off with PtL. The homing missile on the prototype can be a little hard to get off early, but you should be able to hit something turn 2 or 3, and you can get by with just the target lock due to the reroll.
