It kinda makes sense that a big explodey ball nearby wouldn't care about line of sight but still thing there are some gaming oddities with it. For instance, if you can only see units that are actually hull down do you apply the modifier to those units? But not to the ones that are entirely hidden?

Yeah, i could live with the template being centred on a unit in LOS with other units under the template hit as normal.
What seems odd is that (as it came up in one of my games) as RAW the template(s) could be placed *entirely* out of LOS (following the rule that you have to target the most number of targets). Obviously the unit is bunched up behind cover so the formation in this ruling becomes more vulnerable than if they had just spread out in the open. Also hard to see how the ordinance reaches the target if it is a direct fired weapon...
Would have been much simpler (and more consistent) to say only units in LOS could be allocated hits, even if other units are covered - as do all other weapons in the game, ie. extra hits are allocated to those visible until all hits are allocated.
