Why not equip him with A-Wing Test Pilot? That plus Rage, PTL, and a focus/target lock missile of your choice lets you lock, rage and fire the missile in the same round. Also there are missiles that don't need a lock, so he's hardly stuck.

Even without PTL, with target locks there's nothing stopping you from acquiring the lock on a different turn, as locks persist between rounds. So target lock on one turn, and on the 2nd turn line up for the shot, rage, and launch the missile. Or pair with a PS 9 ally with Squad Leader (or Airen Cracken).

But PTL shortens this significantly for Tycho, and on subsequent turns he can Rage + Focus, to make the best of both his primary attacks and his defense rolls. Or Rage + Boost, to perfect his positioning. Though I still think PTL + Daredevil might be better, depending on how you like to play.
