I think this list would work better if you skipped the warboss, split the lootas into three groups of 10.
bought in a ADL
and use the rest of the points on Flyboss for the dakkajets.

I agree with everything phatonic said.

Phatonic has it right. My only concern would be your lack of strong AT, unless you're hoping for rear armor with the Dakkajets. A squad of Kannons in the backfield is a good answer, and still fits the 'dakka' theme! If that's not an issue to you, just follow Phatonic's advice!

When I first thought about the list, I wasn't sure to split the 2 lootas into 3, but yeah that is a sound tactic. 2 15 strongs is a bit overkill. I was thinking about an ADL but wasn't sure.

Yeah I was kinda thinking the dakkajets could hopefully deal some rear armour damage, but dropping the warboss for a battery of zzap kannons (i prefer them over all of the other kannons) would be more beneficial.

I'd also maybe drop the Big Shootas in the squads in favor of maybe Rokkit Launchas for some kind of anti tank in addition to splitting the lootas up.

Rokkit Launchas are far too hit and miss to be even remotely reliable, the zzap cannons would be for dealing AT, especially since they can cause crew shaken with a hit. Plus i'd rather take that extra shot in the boys mob.

Could always be a laugh to have two warpheads as HQ. good chance of a waaagh each turn!!!! Prob not the most competitive choice but it would be a lot of fun.

For me Warpheads have been the opposite of fun. I go in expecting shenanigans and get horribly disappointed.

If OP is fine with Forgeworld we can put scary levels of dakka in the list with Grot Bomms, another Loota mob, and another SAG or if you wanna pay for it a 5th Loota mob. In the meantime I'd suggest;

~Cut the Warboss, he's doing nothing whatsoever for the list
~Consider swapping the SAG for a KFF, or taking a KFF alongside the SAG
~Loota Mobs, reduce to 10 per unit, mostly because Mob Rule prevents going to ground and you want that +2 to cover in area terrain
~Big Guns are tough and cheap dakka, Kannons are versatile, Lobbas are fantastic anti infantry, Zapps are gak. If they are in front of your boyz you can claim cover for shooting that passes through the unit I believe.
~An ADL is great cover for Lootas, and can give perfect concealment to Grots to make them invincible to shooting. What you really want it for though is the Lascannon, best AT shooting the Orks can get sadly.

I am in agreement with everything Dakkamite said
I would probably pick the Kannons though in any case, especially since you have nothing in your army right now that can even scatch AV14, not to mention that AV 13 is still hard to deal with only with lootas in a timely manner
The thing I'd probably cut is one of the Dakkajets
2 squads of 3x Kannons would do alot more damage then a Dakkajet that will MAYBE come in turn 2
also, look into investing into the Ace Fighta upgrade so your dakkajets can deal well with opposing flyers
In any case its a very cool list,

Oh no, never use S8 to attack AV14. At least, not if theres anythig else worth shooting at.

What else would one do with Orks vs an AV14 heavy list.
Besides this list doesnt have a single Power Claw in it to open AV14 cans up close and personal

I've never considered anything from FW, are Grot Bomms any good?
Yeah the warboss was in there for sentimental value, I might drop him for a KFF
Yeah i forgot about the mob rule stopping them from going to ground.
Tempted with kannons, but I do love my zzaps, I know I need to get an ADL. I've never really thought of getting one until recent.
