I've used a decimator a fair amount in games and to be honest it normally spends a lot of time broken not doing much.
Yeah, but nowadays it has the
super-sniping barrage ability, according to you. :-P
For what it's worth, I fear facing Decimators more than I do Death Wheels. I just find them harder to deal with. Death Wheels tend to do more damage early in the game, but they also tend to die earlier in the game.
I can deal with Death Wheels, in general, but Decimators are, despite their lesser stats, tougher nuts to crack, at least in part because their slower speed means they stay under the CSM AA umbrella for longer, and their CC of 4+ is offputting for cheap CC attacks, plus their greater weapons range and lack of need to be in FF range means they can stay at 30-45cm and just fire away...
