The fact that you're flying around with a Target Lock already will only benefit the high-variance of Proton Rockets (more often than not you'd spend the TL anyway, instead of taking the free crit, in order better to ensure 5 hits). 2 dice + 1 crit is better than a 3-dice attack (it's also better than a non-locked Mangler Cannon, BTW), so all of this "can you imagine this if . . ." is simply a way of undervaluing a huge improvement to the offensive capability of the TIE Advanced.

TL early, then Focus and shoot. Remain perfectly set up for any missile shot (TL re-rolls are very important to Proton Rocket alpha strikes, as every A-Wing pilot knows).

Better than a Mangler Cannon, people, for 1 point. Retaining the TL generates an economy of action, better even than a Fire Control System.

1 point for this.
