Well swarms are hard to hit targets, but I'd agree that a homing missile is more for priority hard to hit targets rather than cheap fodder like a swarm. Great for assassinating Howlrunner queen of the swarm though.

I guess the thing going for Homing missiles on Zs vs. TIE Swarm is that they should be able to hit and ideally reduce the TIE numbers before the TIEs get to start shooting back. Although Academy Pilots may only be PS 1 ships they can still be hard to hit. How many have loaded up Assault Missiles on A-Wings only to see most, or even all, of them wiff?
