Do Tau Crisis Suits just pack 3 rounds into their missile pods and deep strike into battle?

Or are the missiles just the size of tennis balls and there are half a dozen or so stuffed into each of the three tubes?

Or do the Tau just not shoot until the missile itself is locked on target?


This is seriously bugging me.

Most likely it would have some sort of feed system which would supply the pods with a limited amount of missiles, most likely more than three though.

You are making the mistake of looking for realistic modelling in 40K.

Once you start down this path you will very quickly pass through the gates of either madness or disbelief.

The pilot keeps extra missiles in his pockets and reloads as needed.
