Flyers dont really profit that much. They still get -1 on their heavy weapons, and frankly, I've never assaulted/advanced with any of my flyers even once.

I still think its strange that this strategem is "better" for normal bikers than black-knight-elite-guys. But thats how the rules are ;-)

BTW: Landspeeders also dont really get a buff from this. Although i must admit, advancing and still firing (at -1) will be situational, but can win you games.

Yeah. It is clearly intended to let you shoot all weapon types. You still get -1 when using assault / heavy weapons though.

The strategem let's you shoot, but it doesnt say "as if the unit remained stationary" or "as if the unit did not advance at all"

I still think it is strange that Blackknights get -1 on their weapons, which are designed to be shoot while advancing, while a regular biker can shoot the bikes bolters as well as his plasmagun, without any penalty....
