But the Cluster Missiles are probably better if you are attacking a Y-Wing...

All in all, I think the Concussion Missile is slightly better, and it offers you more attack options during the game.


The Cluster Missile is only marginally better than a Concussion Missile against a Y-Wing, statistically speaking (thanks to the work of TNT who posted the stats). Assuming a basic Cluster vs. Concussion missile attack against a Y-Wing:

Cluster Missiles: 2.34 expected hits
Concussion Missile: 2.31 expected hits

So, basically no difference. But then the Concussion Missile is drastically better against Agility 2+ targets. After seeing the numbers, I stopped taking Cluster Missiles all together, but I suppose in missions where you're shooting at 0 Agility targets (if any such ever exist) there might be a more convincing place for the Cluster Missile.


I suppose it depends on how popular the Falcon and Slave 1 become.
