I'll say again, Banshees work fine with 2+CC.
If Banshee Exarchs are allowed to have there extra CC attack to be first strike too then the formation works well and is a viable choice if used well, emphasis being put on "used well" .
Other aspect formations maybe "easier to use" for players (getting extra use out of them supporting other assaults etc.) but just because something is easier to use doesn't make it better.
There's no need to give them sniper/MW/infiltrate or any other or new special rule, I think players really need to use them better as part of a combined arms list instead of trying to make them a stand alone formation.
It seems to me as though players are trying to get them "balanced" in one off theory situations instead of having them "balanced" as a formation in a list and game that is about using a combined arms approach and making units/formations work together.
This would be fine and all, except they are never used with their current stats...
They are here, more often than Striking Scorpions at tournaments.
Instead of players pushing for upping the power of everything that isn't seen regularly in lists to make them "viable" why don't we see the regular taken formations reduced in power or upped in cost.
Where is here? If it's EUK, the stats show more striking scorpions, and only once Banshees. Also, that was 8 Banshees with two exarchs that had FS.
There are quite a few Eldar units that could do with a little nerf, but this is not the subject of this thread.
The subject here is to how to make Banshees see more play, and everything is on the table. Just stating that EUK stats are the best option is fine and all, but is only an opinion.
I personally like EUk stats except for the fact that it makes Banshee CC score the best in the universe, which is kinda weird for a unit that in 40k: 1) does not have 2 attacks, 2) has a CC of 4 and 3) has a strength of 3.
In other terms I would feel more confortrable with their original CC of 3+ in Epic and some kind of way to make it stronger. I also think that increasing their mobility is necessary, so that they can find their niche.
