the main situation when nimbus is worth, against the tipical link of basic soldiers with heavy weapons and you have Lunah or the phesnt sniper. Lunah + marksmanaship X + nimbus against gulham for example. 12+ 6+3 -3 -3 burst 1 vs 11 + 6 -6 burst one ( assuming both are in cover and good range for weapons, if the enemy has missile launcher and you can shot from his neutral range zone it's better). This combo is not the best of the game but against heavy ARO link it cn work to deal with it without risking very expensive asset ( Lunah), it cost orders but well, thats why ISS can run a lot of Kuang Shis. EDIT: just saw that @Triumph said it just before XD
I think that can be said for any of them. My point being, he's one of the few troops in ISS that can have it, so another plus for the ZY. I'd also have him in a harris for +1 Burst with the ADHL. But the fact one of them also has Madtraps and Triangulate Fire makes them a triple threat in that mission.
Uhm, guys... where are you even pulling the idea that the Zhanying has an adhesive launcher? Only adhesive launcher in ISS is with Sforza-
The Zhanying is a Veteran troop that gets an ADHL in the mission: Hunting Party. Only Elite, Veteran, and HQ troops get it.
Well, you have the protection of sixth sense - at least it helps you not get shot from behind, spec fired to death or shot out of smoke. For ISS, a hunting party of hsien multirifle, zhanying haris and zhanying madtraps is a pretty neat option to go hunting the enemy LT. All three models in the haris get burst 2 adhesive launchers while linked and pull some non-lethal glue-bots along with them. There aren't many better options.
