We've tested the trade, it seemed fine (Must finish that batrep!).

Overall it seemed fine working alongside skyray formations and a-10s when I tried it. The missile pods stats are quite a boost over the gm? 45cm AT5+ to 45cm AP4+/AT5+ yes?

In Wh40k Apocalypse the Barracuda is armed by default with a Missile Pod (together with the Ion Cannon and two Burst Cannons). The Seeker Missiles are only an additional and optional weapons system.

The Twin Missile Pod is AP5+/AT6+.

Best solution I can think of would be to trade the Seeker attack for a Missile Pod.  

The model has a missile pod, so that is not an issue.  Yes, that ignores that it can carry Seekers, but we're ignoring the Missile POd now, so that isn't a big deal.

It gives a slight bump in GA firepower which should bring it on par with the T-Bolt.


Already been suggested on Nov 10th (so obviously, I agree with it)  :;):

Maybe the Seeker missiles could be replaced with Missile pods (thus at least removing the need for a ML to use all it's attacks) to make it more useful?

The Twin Missile Pod is AP5+/AT6+.

Sorry I always assume optimum use for tau stuff in comparisons, then price slightly below that so the whole ml idea is rewarded in formations that don't have them integrally.

So ground firepower now would be when lit
45cm AP4+/AT5+
30cm AP3+/AT4+
Unlit
45cm AP5+/AT6+
30cm AP4+/AT5+

With the comparison being with the tbolts
30cm AT4+
30cm AP5+/AT6+
15cm AP4+
