Flyrant Shooting at Flyers

[Deleted]

I don't see why FMCs shouldn't be allowed to choose to have skyfire or ground fire as other flyers do.

I agree, he really needs it, if so he's an Auto include.

He doesn't need it because he can have armour, FnP, 360 fire arc, regain wounds, lock in combat for safety, etc.

The FMC is a lot more durable and versatile than a vehicle flyer. He can't have skyfire too or they would just be too good.

I don't think he needs it, but I think he may have it. Saying it can only snapfire at other flyers is implying rules that aren't written. On the otherhand, assuming that the rulebook stating that FMCs fire normally means that they fire at normal BS regardless of target is also implying rules. It seemed to me that everyone was playing that they can only snapfire against flyers, but I don't think it is obvious in the rules.

You guys understand that unlike fliers, the tyrant can assault, and it can shoot at normal bs while being in "zoom mode". They also har the advantage of having wounds and a save rather than armor and hull points.

Really people, WHY is it so difficult to understand it isn't a flier, it's a FMC. You can't say "I want it to have this like everything else does" andthen expect it to also keep what is unique about it. It's getting a bit annoying really, not just here, but other threads ad forums as well. They can't make FMC's "fliers plus" so... Don't expect them too. I mean I understand the desire for us to be overpowered, but no, let's not decide that it doesn't make sense and isn't fair that they didn't just had the first place trophies to FMC.

You want to deal with fliers? Wait for other codecies to come out with their sky fire weapons later on which will limit the fliers.

A FMC can't even hit another FMC on normal BS. What is that about? And when they're zooming, they can't assault... and they got shot down easily.

They should have skyfire. We really don't have much else to contend with Stormravens otherwise.

@wisdom: People aren't asking for the Tyrant to be better because they think it's not good enough, they just want an answer to Flyers. That's the real issue, and as a Flyrant's already buzzing around up there him being able to deal with them wouldn't be too bad. Heck, in terms of balance it's a lot of pressure on one model so he'd be targeted often as a result.
