And people wonder why that faction has disgruntled players. Sounds remarkably like the Drop Bear launcher we were promised for a Bolt Engineer before N3 dropped.

They'll prob have all the new shiny toys when the new sectorial drops. Most of us still have to place mines the old fashioned way... Its not just PanO.
I'm assuming TAK will have a profile or 2 with this as well, probably the new fat super HI.
Is that a natural 21?

Which doesn't do anything to help NCA, a Sectorial that has been exceedingly lackluster for a long time. Their "signature" unit, the Bolt(since Auxilia can't be a Fireteam) is a unit that many people struggle to find use for and a lot of the ideas/suggestions that the more devoted NCA players had put forward on the official forums have since been added to other Sectorials/factions.
Hell, I myself put the idea forward of mixed links with Bolts and Dronbots or Squalos.
Most of us still have to place mines the old fashioned way... Its not just PanO.
That's nice and all but it doesn't change my statement. This is a thing that we were explicitly told would be coming for Neoterran Bolts alongside with an Engineer profile(something which would have immediately shot them up in value, even if the unit still was lackluster). It's the whole reason that during N2 they said "Bolts will be better in N3!" as they said the mechanics for things like the "Mine Launcher" weren't there for N2.
I'm assuming TAK will have a profile or 2 with this as well, probably the new fat super HI.
Probably, but say it with me again:
Corvus Belli doesn't know how to properly update things. It took a new Raicho for this to happen, and while I'm happy for MAF to get a boost--I'm annoyed that it comes at the expense of everyone else. We still don't have a reason for the stupid Panzerfaust-esque weapon on the Aquila Guard's shoulderpad and rather than just add the PF to the AG's profile...they redesigned the flipping Panzerfaust for Knights!

Mine Dispenser wrote:Mine Dispensers are portable area denial weapons, designed to be installed in vehicles or super heavy armor units. They consist of a double thrower system that allows two different attack angles. However, the trigger device of this weapon is connected to both launchers, to facilitate its instinctive use in high speed attack situations. These weapons have been widely used by the Cossack light cavalry units in Tartary, given their great effectiveness in counteracting the ferocious charges of Antipode raiders. Homemade versions of this weapon can be found in the black market, often used by members of the Bosozoku, the biker gangs of Japan and Kuraimori, as well as by the drivers of the Thai mafias of Nakhonthai province, in Shentang.
It's really starting to feel like USARF was just TAK Mark 1. Super defensive army yet somehow Blackjacks don't get Mine Dispensers.
I would be extremely surprised if the Cossacks aren't bikers. We know that CB wanted there to be a biker unit in the army.

More rules and equipment? >:-| I don't like the mine dispenser at all. Ah well, I guess CB felt the need to add some Herp to the game, to go along with all the Derp, like the chest mine. This is just bloat.
Pre-Order starts Tuesday, so a full reveal this week-end, or Monday?

Mine dispensers are a real thing and are awesome.
Hopefully CB learns about FASTCAMs.

Too bad that only new Sectorials or revised items like the Raicho will have it. Perfect fit for Blackjacks(the defensive 'anchor' of a USARF battle line) and Mavericks(outriders and convoy escorts), perfect fit for the Uhlan, perfect fit for Geckos, perfect fit for all kinds of factions and units.
Hopefully CB learns about FASTCAMs.
I'd be interested to know this one since the only results I'm finding are for camera systems.

I agree that mine dispensers should be found other places...like the Maghariba Guard.
I added a 'T' on accident. It's actually FASCAM. They are scatter mines.
I hear that they're more then OK with running with suggestions from the masses - you may or (more likely) may not get credit for it, but at least we'll all get to play it!

3 x line kazaks rifles
1 x kazak spetznas rifle
1 x vet kazak ap rifle
1 x motor streltsy (board shotty)
1 x ratnik 2 Ml and smg
3 x dakini 2.0 smg
1 x deva combi
1 x rakshaa oprative multi rifle
1 x yakshaa observer marksman rifle
1 x dasyu msr
Anyone find the aleph units underwhelming?
Since 3 of them are unknown units(Dakini 2.0 might have some significant changes), Rakasha Operatives are unknown, and Yakasha are unknown as well.
That said: 3 Dakinis with SMGs is nasty. SMGs in general are a bit ridiculous right now.
I find the rumor of the units questionable, mostly because the Ratniks weapons doesn't match with its white silhouette. The gun in its left hand is kinda long to be an SMG....
And on the SMG, I dont find the SMG to be ridiculous, its good in suppressive fire but outside of that they its an ok weapon, god at short range mediocre in medium range against anything with at CH:skill and crap against anything over 16. They have their uses but its far from ridiculous thanks to its rangebands. (If your not a REM boosted with Marksmanship)

No, it's really not. Look at the Blackjack with T2 Sniper Rifle--the weapon on its right arm is a SMG.

What a SMG gives you for the points cost it seems to have is far from "ok".

They're several points cheaper than a combi rifle, they're high burst, and they have AP or Shock ammo. Stick that on a 6-4 REM with CH:Mimetism in a fireteam and we're talking some proper bs.
So many games, so little time.
So many models, even less time.
Screw it, Netflix and chill.

Correct, but your insinuation was that "the gun in its left hand is kinda long to be an SMG".
I suggested that you look at the Blackjack with T2 Sniper Rifle, which has a SMG on its right arm. The SMG there is the same size as the one that the Airborne Ranger with SMG has, it's just surrounded with a bunch of extra gubbins.
Not saying that it's 100% a SMG mind you, just that you'd be surprised at how small the SMG is on the Blackjack.

Mhe.. I find them quite easy to deal with.
But the Dakini 2.0 must have gotten some proper stats/skill face lifts if their armed with SMGs (or a lot of bloat). Current Dakini armed with SMG would cost around 8 points and i dont think ALEPH is getting that cheap line infantry.
