So I finally got my third Dunecrawler but
Im not sure if it's worth it to squadron them. The benefit is obvious with the 4++ but does it outweigh splitting them into three different targets? I have seen barrels where a unit of them has been decimated By a ton of shots and splitting them up would definitely negate this. Plus it gives the option to vary the weapon load outs as well. I haven't had any experience playing 3 yet but I've watched some games and batreps which have given me a general impression. Right now I think I'm leaning towards splitting them up but I'd really like to hear from anyone with experience about your preference and how you play them. Thanks!

If you're against a load of Haywire, or Gauss, group them.
If you're against Super-heavies, spread them out.

Group 3 with neutron lasers- they dish out the damage and can withstand quite a bit of shooting.

A squadron of at least 2 seems good and killy in my experience, and it allows you to do split fire pretty well.

That being said 3 neutron lasers blasting 1 thing are almost guaranteed to erase 1 thing per turn.

Never three. Sometimes two. Usually just one with anti-air is enough.
