The Liu Xing also got a real CC weapon and a bump to 20 CC, so getting engaged on landing isn't quite as bad as before.
I really doubt it'll happen, but if the FTO really is gone, B3 Yan Huo Neuro ML in ARO would be pretty funny.
Well, I hope the chart is incorrect then :P I don't think we need B6 in the game, but Haris would also provid that, I guess. Maybe the +1B from fireteams doesn't stack with the profile mod?
Why wouldn't it? K1 weapons have a damage value (of 13), it's not like the old Mono/K1 ammo that had a fixed value in the ammunition rules
I don't think B6 is such an issue anymore since crits have been nerfed. Besides, it'll exist anyway with ko dali in onyx (B6 assault pistol if the FTO profile joins a core). edit: looks like ko dali FTO has only one assault pistol.
Holoprojectors, a hallmark of Yu Jing, got a small upgrade since the States Phase re-activation happens at the end of every turn. Edit: and also how you only place the Holoecho Marker next to a Holoecho if you activate the unit. Kriza Borat can join Fireteams up to Core now, with no indication of FTO profile limitations.
Has anyone mentioned Daofei loosing the HMG?! I guess it's now a Spitfire for me. Initial thoughts WB is disappointing for me. IA is better. ISS got good! It's going to take me a while to get into more detail. Overall positive.
Hsien MMR to match Aquila MMR, though unlike the Aquila Hsien still has multi-rifle profiles. Hsien Multi Rifle has B+1 Nanopulsar just like the Cranes. Su Jian Heavy Shotty gains +1B but lost its flamer. Pheasant got a new Red Fury/Tactical Awareness profile, more than 1 pheasant can join Bao fireteams. Adil has the last mono CCW in ISS (They broke them all killing Japanese I guess?) ISS DVAs can form Haris, any number of Dakini (AVA 3 now) can join them. Hope you didnt sell your Aleph Starter DVAs like I did lol Ninja SMG and SMG/Hacker, FO Ninja got shipped here from Nippon (But he still has combi rifle for some reason) Yan Huo picked up Bioimmune Shang Ji lost their flamers for chain colts. Garuda gained a FO profile so ISS has an AD specialist now. Miranda and Sforza FTO both count as ABH for fireteam purpose, so they can form a duo together.
That's actually really annoying. CB is usually pussy-footing around all factions not to make recent sculpts out of date
Currently trying to figure out when and how to use Lunah. The increased BS is nice, but the switch away from Marksmanship to Triangulated Fire is weird. Now, for Zhanying and Adil, Triangulated Fire got a buff - burst MODs are applied normally. Lunah? Well... it's basically just shooting through smoke and really short range where it matters, now isn't it?
Very irritating. It's only 1-2 years old. It's also a part of the Beyond Red Veil. So if you want the Zhanying and Guilang, you need to get an unusable figure.
Now. I know CB loves their fanservice. If they really want to both mess with Yu Jingers and provide fanservice of the weirdest quality, they will release rules for that specific Daofei. Spoiler And put it in ISS.
I still can't freaking wrap my head about all the retooling of fireteams Nomads got while we get stuck with mostly the same shit. I'm happy with a lot of the changes we got, but why the fireteam disparity between factions? It's not even about the power level but the fun and usability of the models.
