I was wondering why everyone seems to think that the strom eagle rockets can be fired directly when, it's a BARRAGE weapon. Is there an FAQ that I havent seen or something just wondering.

Ordnance Barrage weapons can be fired directly when they don't say they can't be (page 58 of the BRB). Colossus and Griffons can't fire directly, but the Manticore can.

Yep.
Unless specified otherwise, all ordnance barrage can fire directly.
Ignores minimum range restrictions BUT cover is determined from direction of firer, not from centre of blast.

Like everyone else said, basically the rocket flies straight from the launcher along LoS at the enemy target. Same with Basilisks, and any other barrage weapon that doesn't say it must fire indirectly.

Think of it as the Guardsmen screaming for fire support, danger close, and the Manticore agreeing.
