I'm not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet but, why does the Skyray have a piece of equipment that is not on the vehicle upgrade list? I didn't know vehicles could take support systems now.

Personally I like the tides of an air defense vehicle with sky fire. Makes perfect sense to me.

For the point cost, its well worth it! I do not like the limited shots though. I guess what I am wondering is if in the future they will FAQ that upgrade onto the vehicle upgrade list. I'd love to be able to use an Ionhead or Railhead with skyfire!

Vehicles can't take support systems, only vehicle upgrades as defined in the codex.

The Skyray is a special case, as the Velocity Tracker is already included on the base platform. So don't hold your breath on AA Railheads.

AA Railheads would eliminate Fliers as a competitive choice. Do you really want to see 2+ St 10 AP 1 shots at AV12 or worse every turn? Heck, Broadsides at ST8 AP 1 wreck fliers easily enough as it is. GW likes their income boost from the Fliers

That's my point.

An AA railhead would be pretty nuts I will have to admit, more like wishful thinking on my part.
