I pointed out the same thing during the Version 5 list development but I can't remember what the answer was...

Just going through the Tau list in detail I noticed that the missile pod has an extended range to 45cm, rather than 30cm (as it would have if on par with the range in 40k compared to other weapons like the heavy bolter). Anyone know the reason for this? I'm sure it must have come up before however I'm not having much luck finding it. |

I must say in the context of manover warfare I would prefer raised to hit rather than range, so 30cm AP4+/AT5+ |

I think it may have been part of the attempt to keep the Crisis suits out of FF range. By rights, they should have a 30cm shot from the Missile Pods, a 15cm shot from the Plasma Rifles, and a MW FF shot from the Fusion Blaster as a direct translation. By stretching everything one range band, it makes the suits a little more dangerous while still hitting ever harder as the range closes. |
