Predictive Targetting System..............................20pts
The predictive targetting system's suite of sensors and rangefinders tracks and records the movement patterns of fast targets. This system is a battlesuit support system which takes up one hard point on a battlesuit. A battlesuit with this system has Skyfire.


Easy, right?

I think doing it like the Advanced Stabilization System is best, where they can choose to do skyfire at the beginning of their turn (not shooting phase, to simulate the need for the system to kick in). With JSJ they don't really need Interceptor to avoid being killed by the Flyer they're going after.

This'd actually be a lot of fun to play test. I'll see if I can convince my Tau friend to do that this weekend and let you know how it goes.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480657/4853906.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480657/4853906.page GMT Re:Tau AA support system AA platform makes sense from a fluff standpoint, and Crisis Suits dogfighting with jets is too Gundam Wing. Also, Skyfire would limit the uselessness of a Crisis Suit against non-flying targets.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480657/4853930.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480657/4853930.page GMT Tau AA support system
Crisis Suits have a job and that isn't air defense.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480657/4854123.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480657/4854123.page GMT Re:Tau AA support system
Tau might create a specialized anti-aircraft battle suit, but they wouldn't just slap AA mounts on existing ones.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480657/4854177.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480657/4854177.page GMT Tau AA support system

This is good, but this actually prevents the battlesuit from hit targets on the ground with full BS, as IIRC Skyfire lets you only shoot at flyers with full BS.

It should say something like, "At the start of the shooting phase, allows for Battlesuit weapon (systems) to gain the Skyfire USR".

This way it can shoot at ground target before any fliers come in, and afterwards as well.

Also, considering the function of the Targeting Array, it should increase the BS of Snap shots (and Overwatch) by +1(after the Snap Shot BS modifier).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480657/4856517.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480657/4856517.page GMT
