I was thinking about how to make dark eldar better, or rather how I would make them better. First of all is outflank, since nothing in DE has scouts or infiltrate, no outflank, which would be a very DE thing. Raiders and ravagers should be able to outflank
Here's the idea I had.

Do a SM drop pod assault type thing, have half of your outflanking vehicles come in first turn on the same side, it could still be random, roll d6 1/3 chance of either side and 1/3 of your choice, but they all come in on the same side, then the other half come in normal outflanking rules.

Would that be too OP?, imagine 3 squads of wyches and 2 ravagers coming in 12 and 6 inches respectively, dropping out, fleet, bombard the enemy with plasma cannons, and charge.

I think that would be a great thing for dark eldar to have, it would make them much more powerful, and it would fit their fluff and play style a lot IMO.

As I remember the rules, the DE excell at popping enemy armor and rushing into H2H with fleet, high initiative, and lots of attacks. The codex also guarentees them first turn actions as attackers in scenarios where an attacker is required. Given all that, your proposed rule may make them a little overpowered.
