I don't think I have won a single game against a Phantom list yet. My B-wings are such a low pilot skill that they don't have a hope in even guessing where Echo might end up....and once he get's within 1 of you, you can say goodbye to most of your shields. Furthermore, the Defender's maneuverability is pretty insane. A lot of white moves (inluding a K-turn!), and while I find I can predict where they are going, it is the same story....quadruple my pilot skill, and 4 shots at range 1. Imperial ships with shields are horrifying really. I know a lot of people have been saying that this is "the era of stress," but I wanted to try and find a way around that with my B-Wings. However, the reality is that you need stress against the Phantom....and you need a lot of it, or a big turret.
Don't get me wrong, B-Wings are still great craft. My new list combines two of them with a Falcon (strange, but it seems to work), but the old triple list is out.
One thing though, the YT-2400 looks great!
- Out.
