With the introduction of the Gozanti Cruiser in wave 3, you can also run 2 TIE Fighters and one Gozanti for only slightly higher cost than 2 Aggressors (39 points for the Gozanti + 2 TIE Fighters 32 points for two Aggressors). Overall that it's a tough sell for the Aggressor.
It also gets outclassed within the Imperial family as a durable somewhat-multi-role squadron for the same cost, TIE Defenders make a mockery of Aggressors - although they lack Rogue and Counter 1, they gain Bomber (same average anti-ship damage but crits counting helps), 1 more hull, 2 speed (which is huge), and an overall better anti-squadron attack (a bit worse against scatter aces). When it comes to multi-role generic Rogue squadrons, the Rebel YT-2400 absolutely outclasses the Aggressor - for the same cost, it gains +1 hull and +1 speed at the cost of Counter 1: I would take that deal absolutely every time were I given the opportunity as an Imperial player. Time hasn't been kind to the Aggressor, I'm afraid. In short, it seemed to be a more multi-role squadron (don't get me wrong, it's still focused on anti-squadron primarily) and required less support from ships - not superior to TIE Fighters, just an alternative for those who really didn't like them. For the cost of two generic TIE Fighters, the Aggressor doesn't need squadron commands, has enough hull to handle getting pounced on (and gets Counter 1 in those circumstances), and does okay versus ships with a single black die (75% chance of 1 damage). The Aggressor is a 16 point chunk of squadron that upon its arrival in wave two was considered something of a "fix" for Imperial players that didn't like running TIE Fighters.
Or maybe like a space walrus? I mean come on, look at that goofy thing! I'm not the only one that kind of sees it, right? I think? The point is it's super weird-looking.
