Grounded test: If a FMC that is swooping suffers one or more hits from a units shooting attack it must take a grounding test...

Ok suffers one or more hits is the issue.... Does my FMC ONLY have to be HIT... or does it actually have to score a wound? I assume it wouls say suffers an unsaved wound.. but dang it just feels like they killed FMCs because you cant even JINK that UNLESS you pass a grounded test..

Hits is accurate. The idea is that the FMC can lose its bearing from the volume of fire.

I've been playing against a double flyrant list and trust me when I say that this isn't that hard of a hit against them. They still murder stuff

yeah i suppose, ill be running one flyrant and one harpy. 1 ground tyrant with a 2+ and a t-fex as well so i mean target priority is better i just hate to see them fall due to.. a hit i know it takes a 6... or skyfire.. but like... seriously a bullet that does NO harm knocks a hug bug out of the sky.... as many times as ive smacked a fly... with my giant hand... unless i killed it with the hit... it continues to fly.. just seems like a bit of a stretch but oh well RAW it is noted and just gotta be careful how i choose to use my FMCs thank you much.
