Really? I've always found the BB Medusas to do an adequate enough of a job to not really miss the regular shell option. Having longer range means I might actually get to fire twice, and should I by a stroke of fortune actually hit a vehicle, the shell has a decent chance at penetrating.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245869/802612.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245869/802612.page GMT Medusa Shells

140pts for an ST10 AP1 blast? Chance of hitting a tank (1/3 + 41.64% (chance of rolling a 6 or less)) is 61.0% chance of hitting. Chance of at least one of 2 tanks hitting is 84.9% (ok that's 280pts)

And the AP1 means you have a 50:50 chance of destroying the tank one you penetrate. The problem is, once you've cracked all the tanks, they're less good against what's inside. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245869/802655.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245869/802655.page GMT Medusa Shells

Its more a matter of versatility, they're expensive and at that price point I'd like them to be able to have both (also coupled with thinking they could use both intially and the disappointment that followed).

I may still use them in the future, but they're not quite as good as I'd like them to be,
