Do bonuses added to a unit such as +1 Strength, +1 Attack etc. Carry that bonus over when a stratagem is applied?

For example if a vehicle has +1 Strength does it gain an additional dive when using the tanks shock stratagem. Such as would an ork trukk which can use its wrecking ball which has a strength of ten, would it count as strength 11 during a waaagh turn for purposes of the stratagem.

It seems it should work this way, however, the start states that the dice number is dependent upon the stats of the weapon, and makes no reference to if this applies to a weapons strength and any bonuses.

Thoughts?

Checks out to me. The strat doesn't refer to unmodified characteristics, so it's assumed to be the modified characteristic (this is the same throughout the book). And the strength characteristic is modified when you want to play the strategem, so there is no concern about the timing for it (ie: applying only during fight phase, etc)

Why wouldn't they carry that bonus over when a stratagem is applied.
