When checking to see if the base of the FMC has passed over the flying vehicle target, do you:

1. check to see if the FMC base passed over the flying vehicle base

or

2. check to see if the FMC base passed over any part of the flying vehicle hull, IE including the wings of the targeted flying vehicle

**nosferatu1001**

Any part of the hull, as that is what you measure to on a vehicle. No debate possible

**JinxDragon**

Vehicles measure to Hull.
Keep that in mind if your going to end up with a wing tip of a Flyer hanging over the table edge....

Doesn't the vector strike rules state "any part of the model", and does not specifically reference the base?

It says "nominate any one unengaged enemy unit the model has moved over that turn."
All measurements to non-vehicle models are done to the base, according to page 4.
All measurements to non-vehicle models are done to the hull, according to page 71.

Thus, to determine if your FMC has passed over a Flyer, you compare the FMC's base to the Flyer's hull.
