Just to check, are you talking about the profile shown in the video, or the correct ARM6 BTS3 Attributes from Koni’s post?
I clicked the "like button" because the quick answer, but not for the profile, I don't play "Ariadna" but old Merovingia. My poor Pano TAGs XD, don't be scared my boys.
Well, I really like how Kosmos shapes up to be. Less staying power than a modern HI, but you'll have to use a proper tool for the job to actually remove it from the table. And I like the idea of taking AP HMG in Duo with a Volkolak.
Good to have the profile update with the right stats, but they still suffer from bad internal competition with Volkolaks who has Total Immunity with ARM 4 and 2 wounds and can join any linkteam, including LI Core (like Veteran kazak can). Portable Autocannon MSV1 looks like interesting ARO piece with MSV1 being buffed, but even then, it's just one shot on BS 13, doing effectively the same job as Al-Fasid does (and it's not a very popular guy)
The kosmo AP hmg is slightly superior in active turn compared to the veteran with no link bonuses, and it's a bit less likely to suffer a wound to regular ammo, the vet is a bit more expensive but has six sense lvl2 and it's superior on reactive. The T2 rifle with flamethrower and panzerfaust is a pocket anaconda for half the prize, it will annihilate any multi wound light infantry, but statistically the T2 rifle struggles against armored targets so it's better to use the panzerfaust to deal with those. It will also be more vulnerable to hackers if it gets closer to use his weapons. Those 2 will be useful as affordable one man haris for vanilla when the mission requires it. I want to see the profiles of the rest of ariadna HI for N4 because at this moment the kosmo is straight superior to the ratnik, (virtual hi unknown ranger) and mormaer. It also feels quite strange as the design is visibly less armored than the others but it's the most well armored ariadna troop until now.
It is known that armor behaviour will get a huge rattle. No unlikely that armor values get rebalanced across all HI and it sounds fitting that Ariadna might get a buff given their Thesium possession and cruder approach in general.
Arm 6 feels very weird. When I see an astronaut suit, I don't really think "Yeah that's tougher than a Blackjack." That said, he's a very interesting little data tracker now. If everyone starts taking visors, maybe this guy will see play in vanilla over the Vet Kazak (tradeoff of course being the sixth sense level 2 which is not immaterial).
