So I need a unit capable of reaching enemy units out of sight. Staying with SM does anyone have experience with the whirlwind or Thunderfire. Between minimum shots, range, and strength I see both as viable options, but only need one.

I think I like the whirlwind better, and prefer the castellen launcher to the vengeance for killing infantry, which is what is most likely to be hiding.

The TFC lost a lot this edition. The multi-fire modes, Bolster ruins. The whirlwind has better quality shots on a tougher platform even if the average number is slightly lower.
