Can units embarked on Super Heavy Walker Transport shoot while SHW is in combat?

The BRB is silent on this issue as far as I can tell.

i would say yes since it's the SHW unit that is in close combat and not the passengers. However it needs to be open top or have firepoints.

Yes they can, given fire points, they just cannot target the unit(s) engaged in melee, as usual.

Except if it is a non-walker SHW, then surely you can shoot them - as they are not Locked?

The (non walker) vehicle itself is not in combat (since it cannot fight), but the unit fighting the tank *is* in combat, and cannot be legally targeted except by scattering templates.

I don't believe a unit can be locked in combat with a non Walker Vehicle.

Hm...you may be right. My BRB isn't handy atm...but now that I think of it, that makes sense.

Vehicles cannot be locked in combat. (Except walkers)

Being locked is what prevents being shot at

Thus the occupants can shoot at the unit assaulting them

The OP's question is about a walker, though.

That question was answered in the first post. The answer is yes. A unit inside a Walker Transport that is locked in combat can shoot out of said Walker Transport. They CANNOT, however, shoot any target unit that is locked in combat. This includes the unit the Walker is locked with.

Yes, I then added in that if it isn't a shw the embarked may fire.

Okay. Got a little confused by how the thread changed questions.
