Can someone tell me why anyone would want to use the array? It negates modifiers, so the only bonus I see is when firing overwatch, but the bonus from having a lieutenant or a captain would also be negated. Have I gotten this all wrong?

Space Marine Scouts can be transported in Rhinos and other SM vehicles now, right? Excluding the Primaris ones I mean.

It negates modifiers ( i.e. +1 or -1 to hit). it does not negate rerolls so a captain or lieutenant is completely fine.

The Landspeeder storm is pretty meh atm though. It was good back in the day when it could blind units (causing them to hit on 6's), but now its just a fast delivery unit for scouts (which don't need to be delivered because of how they deploy).

The Multi-spectrum Array would have no effect on Overwatch as it is neither a hit roll modifier nor a Ballistic Skill modifier, but a set target number which can't be modified unless the rule specifically says that it does.

The array doesn't affect overwatch, it affects modifiers (e.g. +1 to hit, or -1 to hit).

Yes, Scouts can ride in Rhinos, Razorbacks and Land Raiders.
