I would pretty confidently fly a palp shittle and aces against it. It's only 3 ships...
Did the B-Wing finally break the system
If your TIEs are getting outmanoevered by B-Wings, eg one of the slowest ships in the game, you are doing something wrong.
Try those four shuttles by all means, by the way. Make sure to post how it turned out.
If the TIEs get into knife-fight range, it's not so easy. The 2-k is very easily blockable, and the 2-turn plus a barrel roll doesn't exactly put you back into the fight. But you have to come at an angle with the TIEs (to make it easier to block) and not get shot to death. I've won fights with two TIE Fighters against two B-wings.

Lol. Blockable? Sensors FTW!
Barrel roll before 2-k or ever 1-turn is epic and is exactly what makes BBBB epic.
IF you're up against Uber Farlander, it will be even more epic. Pheavers EPT is 100% made for Farlander, and sensors allow him to utilize it to FULL EXTENT using any 2-move after any action. And if you want to, there's even Intel Agent for some 2(1 for mod) points that makes even PS8+ boosters get DERP-blocked or outmaneuvered.
yet still B-s can't do anything to Boost-turrets or Unhinged TLTs
2013 called, it wa-hang on. This thread is from 2013!

It's been a while since I've run against Daggers with AS, that's for sure! But I have run Keyan a few times, and I don't like Stay on Target on him. Like other similar cards (Imperial Fett, Navigator), it suffers when you have few good options and know the best one in advance. The BR is nice, but it means you have Keyan on a single attack modifier. Chances are, you've spent a lot of points on Keyan, so you'd want him to do good damage before he dies. 2 damage modifiers will guarantee that, 1 will leave it to chance. So what I'm saying is TL before you move! Or put PtL on him, TL+BR + white maneuver.
And with regards to outmaneuvering the AS B-wings, it can still be done, although a bit harder. Take a look at Echo-location, all the maneuvers that point towards the front of the B-wing (BR right 1 hard left or similar) leave you in more or less the same spot, with different angles. This doesn't exactly turn you into Whisper, you don't get to shoot the thing that was in your front, you get to be blocked by the ship in your front.
Best. Necro. Ever.

I better shoot 3-4 "focus" dice
and be a bit less out of danger
than get into the fray because of sweet re-rolls.
The longer you stay, the better your result is.
AS+Barrelroll makes you "miniwhisper" in his old self.
You can react to close quarters movements of the enemy and get out of arcs\out of blocks much much better.
It's so much fun reading this thread from 2013.

From before the PHANTOM MENACE AND BOOSTWING WIPED THEM OUT OF EXISTENCE
This is a good troll. I applaud you and hope we can be friends. Let's do a post about how Poe is terrible next, please?
Who's Poe?
Hey have you guys heard? I think they're gonna add two more PS 9 pilots in wave 2! One of them is gonna be Han Solo in the Falcpn! The other is some guy called...Sue Tear? I guess it's time to start quoting 'a boy named sue'!
Yeah this game is awesome, I wonder how long people will stay interested.
Oh wow, I didnt even notice it was from 2013. Haha, yeah, damned necros!
But you made people shed nostalgic tears and remember the good old times when ships of the line jousted and won.
So it's a good moment
