Yes, why not? That would make the Tsyklon finally interesting to me. And despite the Assisted Fire buff it's not that diffrent from all the other Fireteam options present.
I wonder if Tactical Puppets are going to be linkable, and how much they'll be. Like, will they be the faction's line troopers and Securitate are an elite LI team more like Kamau or some such troop type? Or are Securitate getting a cost drop and Tactical Puppets are in the same price region/actually relatively elite? NEED TO KNOW MORE NEED PROFILES
Tunguska could very well end up trending more “elite” instead of “swarmy.” Kind of like what people are speculating for TAK over in Ariadna town. The expectation may very well be that Securitate, at their current pricing, are the basic line profile. Not sure of that’s a good thing, but it’s possible it’s what we’ll get.
Does the Vortex spec ops come packaged with a loose spitfire? You could probably swap that with the combi on the model with relative ease.
I had a similar thought, I was going to source a spitfire from somewhere (BI hellcat maybe) but looking at the dossier the Nomad Red Fury is nothing like a spitfire in looks, or anything else really. Maybe a small-scale HMG (I'm more familiar with PanO weapons but the female-carried weapons are usually a smaller scale) with the top rail removed might be different and convincing enough?
using pano weapon is totally acceptable in nomads, imho. Maybe a little less in Tunguska (cos they got the money!) but personally speaking I can totally see other factions weapon in nomads. They buy weapons from the cheapest contractor. If said contractor is an haqq smuggler or a ruthless corporate from pano, I don't think they'll whine.
Franco-Germaniqie weapons (I.E. Aleph weapons :P) are popular with mercs, and the Chandra Spec-Op comes with a loose Spitfire that would look suitably different to the Nomad ones.
I've rebuilt all my new Spitfires with old-school Spitfires. If you do that you can use one of the new toothpick Spitfires as RFs.
So does the new Kriza ;) Old (better) Spitfire is still available on the Wildcat Spitfire and Riot Grrl Spitfire.
