I find the Concussion Missile a better buy.  It's suplementary ability isn't as good, but since it is basically a proton torpedo that you can equip on a TIE advanced, it raises attack dice from 2 to 4 instead of 3 to 4.  I also wonder if hitting your enemy really hard for a single hit is better when you are fighitng a few x-wings and y-wings rather than a swarm of TIEs.

 I also wonder if the proton torpeodes are not a better deal on your y-wings since they only start with 2 attack dice

Holy cow! Totally missed that rule! Now I'm super stoked to run a 3-Y-wing squad!

I think so. Especially on Horton Salm. 

 P-Torps are going to be very good for Y's as Hrathen said.  Double the dice with potential bonus damage.  Also it allows them to hit long range with much greater potential of making it count.  And since they can take 2 per ship, that only adds to their potential effectiveness.

I would suspect that they'll work best against unshielded ships though.  Have an X knock down the target's shields and let the Y-Finish him off.

I got very excited and started loading out Y-wings with lots of goodies.  But 2 p-torps and an ion-turret const 13 points.  That is a TIE fighter by itself just on upgrades.  But if that y-wing can kill two TIEs and mess with a third, then it should be worth it.

Tricked out Ys can be worth it.  I pushed one the other night and he had one kill and four assists.
