This is mostly intended as a flavor option for players of all-vet armies who want their vehicles to have BS4 to match the troops. Cost on this is tough to balance since for example a Vanquisher cares a lot more what its BS is than a regular battle tank. As a rule of thumb upgrading BS3 to 4 should add no more than 15% to the base cost, so this should cost less than 25 points. A cost of 20 points makes it a decent upgrade for tanks that can make full use of it while 15 makes it pretty good for some and hopefully not cripplingly expensive to put on one's fleet of transports.

15 points, Veteran crew: Change vehicle's ballistic skill to 4.

Seems fair...

This would definitely improve things like punishers without needing to pull out Pask. This does bring up the question if pask would need to be buffed a bit more to be prevented from becoming obsolete due to this.

Pask could be given only as an upgrade to tanks with veteran crews, and he could give the tank the Tank Hunters special rule.. seeing as he is a tank ace and all.

Now Pask would be literally the most worthless IC ever. Kamir would be more useful, and he gives his squad rage.
