In the recent game, I don't know if it was clear in the write up, but I played a formation of two of the new whitesharks.
I gota say, I really hated the new whitesharks by comparison to the way the old ones worked.
Sure, the new proposed got the macro-weapon titan killer attack, but it was a single attack per plane... blah... two of them just didn't do the trick. The old whiteshark could at least put out the at firepower, this one needs mroe at shots to be effective I think. As it stands, the tigershark may be fielded more often than the whiteshark. I hate to make a knee-jerk reaction, but the old whiteshark was formidable. The new one is too dumbed down for the price of two of them - it still doesn't hunt WE's much less titan's very well at all.
I will give it another go, but in the Eldar game of all AT... I really expected two white sharks - designed by the tau to take on enemy titans and WEs - to really have an effect... blah... they didn't. One missed each turn. All other shots were either saved or missed. MW missles don't mean much with a 1 and 6 chance to hit.
I found the new design very lack luster compared to expectations or the way the 'current v4.1' is.
My vote is 'no change' if it's not going to get more attacks *AND* better GM's or the TK gets an uptick of (2) instead of (1).
Anyway, still coming off of the
feeling from the tau v eldar beating, so take all coments in that light. Very depressing game result.
