Just wondering how this list would do? I've not used Y-wings or even secondary weapons but it might be a good list.

Its 40 hit points all together and 25 attack die when they're all firing.

It looks to be a bit of a blunt instrument but viable?

I would certainly recommend against it for Rebels (to slow and un-maneuverable, even with R2 units, which you don't seem to have the points for). I just do not see you getting in rage 1 reliably enough.

Even for scum, I would still not like it. If you've flow X-wings, you know how hard it is to get within range 1. Since you are taking 5 ships, you will not have an unhinged astromech, so it becomes even harder.

Even at range 1, It isn't super screamingly useful. Yeah, you will pick up a few uncancell-able hits with the autoblasers, but even at range 1 your primaries aren't going to do much (since you are saving focus/target locks for the undodge-able shots, right?), especially since your opponent is going to spend focus/evade against them (no point saving it).

While yeah, that's a lot of hitpoints. But as you lack any sort of maneuverability or turret, I can simply stay out of your range 1 and shoot you to pieces at my leisure.

Ah yes its range 1 isn't it! You're absolutely right. I bow to your argument

I think it'd be an interesting list to use still. Would probably be good against large ships which suits it thematically I guess.

Err... not really. Most large ships have low agility (meaning the autos are kinda pointless vs Blasters or even Ions), and are still agile enough to get out of your way.
