On a more serious note, playing a lot of the X-Wing Miniatures game, TIE/ln Fighters are very cheap and packing as many as you can in a list with no upgrades can absolutely wreck an opponent paying top dollar in points for much better craft, so there may be something to this.
Past a certain point, it doesnt matter how much stronger you are than your opponent, or better a pilot, if there are 10 of them for every 1 of you. You need somewhere to dodge into.
