Cover is -1 to hit though. Let's hope the rules have some way to mitigate ork shooting dropping by 50% against units in cover.

The rules should mitigate it by making -1 to hit not a thing.

Too late for that. Maybe in 12th....

We dont know much about 11th edition. Lets wait with being gloomy about ork shooting before we have all the details.

Dont get me wrong it could turn out really bad for us, but maybe it wont. We know almost nothing.

We could also have internal ork balancing that mitigates a lot of -1BS issues, that isnt written in the terrain and core rules.

Guys, if the game has -1 to hit, there is always some get +1 to hit.

**Beardedragon**

If the mek can even still do that in 11th

It's possible they even just raise our baseline BS to 4+ instead of BS 5+ if this is how they're setting it up to be. Unlikely, but it's not like they haven't changed Ork stats before (e.g T4 to T5).

I agree. Orks are getting a brand new codex right out of the gate, so at least the surface problems should be addressed. Unlike in past edition we have actual ork players on the rules team.

And even if everything fails, GW will add stuff to fix the codex over the course of the edition. I'm not worried yet.

It's also possible that they give us an army rule that always makes ork always hit on a 5+ or they spread sustained hits everywhere so sixes are more valuable than fives. There are plenty of ways to address this issue.
