I'm pretty sure they do looking at RAW but I'm not sure if I am missing something else that stops this from being possible.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701325/8877992.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701325/8877992.page GMT Tau Drone Controllers and Counterfire Defense System BS, their BS doesn't change when snap firing. Snapfiring has you shoot at a specific BS; and counter fire raises that for the 1 model that has it.

Drones in a unit that has a BS5 model in it(with a controller) still have a BS5 when they fire their snapshots at BS1.

In short, no it does not work.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701325/8878137.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701325/8878137.page GMT Tau Drone Controllers and Counterfire Defense System

Yes, that is what I said; the model fires at bs2, not the model has bs2. The model's BS never changes for snapfire or counterfire, snapfire has you fire at BS1; and counterfire allows the model with the system to fire overwatch(which is a snapfire) at BS2.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701325/8878504.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701325/8878504.page GMT Tau Drone Controllers and Counterfire Defense System

Ahhh I see I was missing the distinction that you were pointing out between him getting to fire at BS 2 versus him actually being BS 2. Thanks a lot for clearing that up!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701325/8878534.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701325/8878534.page GMT
