I don't think Rebels need to out maneuver at all, they just need to focus a bit. Also, are your rebels bringing in torpedoes? I've found them exceptionally useful at long range, as an initial hit. Take out 1 or 2 TIEs before the fighting even begins.

And in our games, they've all been pretty close. We've all felt it's a nicely balanced game.

Proton torpedoes, we have found, are a really difficult upgrade to fit into most squad lay outs. When we have used them, we find it is better to use them against a ship that you have already gotten target lock on, while you have focus, AND it has already been stripped of its Evade token.

If you've only brought 3 ships to a 100 point party, this is often very difficult to do.

3 ship squad is easy to have 2, if not 3 or even 4 torps. Also note that you cannot use a torp unless you have a target lock. 3 torps gives the Rebels a very nice advantage.
