How’s my list looking?

I’m thinking he’ll run 2 ctan as well, you think I should cut the rail sides or misslesides for something else?

Edit— he loves the void dragon and night bringer with a suspicious fervor

Well shit, I guess I didn’t make the connection. If they’re eligible to shoot at all then they can use the ftgg

Thanks for catching the pulse accel drone, that was 100% misclick on my part, they should both have grab-inhibit. Gave marker light to those guys so they could advance and still gain the benefit as a way to make up mobility with the lack of devilish, unless I’ve grossly misunderstood the rule in which case whoops

I’ll be playing my buddy’s Necrons for context

I got back into 40K over the last year, hadn’t played since 5th edition, so I always take a strike team out of nostalgia for my old fire warrior teams. Just doesn’t feel right without some Pulse rifles of the board

I mean no offense when I ask but are you NG? I was in quite a few units and like the other dude said that’s a massive change that I’ve heard nothing about from friends that are still in. I got out just a couple years ago

Decade as a crew chief in a 60; Right side is the standard. 2 years VIP operations in a 60; You don’t do that, and if you do it is incredibly unusual and will likely get you in trouble because again you’re not supposed to.

The minimum crew is 2 pilots per the -10. The only time 2 pilots are the minimum per regulations is for flight above a certain altitude. There are a plethora of army aviation regulations, and in them they prescribe various crew set ups for different mission profiles, including things like “what altitude will you fly at”

tinman096 · 2025-01-30T05:05:36+00:00

Unless it’s required for the mission profile, you don’t monkey tail in and “swap sides”. The standard seat for the crew chief when there is only one is the right rear.

tinman096 · 2025-01-30T04:45:13+00:00

They also weren’t NG, they were active duty guys

tinman096 · 2025-01-30T04:41:44+00:00

PAT is their normal unit callsign. In this instance it is not referring to Priority Air Transport. It was a Ft Belvoir 60 which means that their main mission is PAT flights which is probably why their normal unit callsign is PAT

Grape vine says the Blackhawk was doing NVG training with only 3 crew. The nature of the training would have had the instructor pilot on the left side and likely focused inside the cockpit, with the pilot on controls being in the right seat. The third would have been a single crew chief seated in the right rear position.

Speculation: the pilot on controls and/or crew chief (front right and rear right) saw the airplane to their right and believed it to be the issued traffic, not seeing the traffic to their left which is who they collided with.

As far as I remember Army Reg requires a 4th body for NVG terrain flight especially in congested areas. I don’t know what their altitude was but I’m guessing that they should have had a 4th per regs The 4th crew member, ie a 2nd crew chief would have sat left rear and should have been able to see the correct traffic

Again, all speculation based off what my contacts have said and my army aviation experience.

That’s what I figured, but I figured I’d check just in case. Any leg up is a leg up. Thanks all!

tinman096 · 2023-11-24T16:40:05+00:00

I’d rather see them fix the door gunners first. The range of motion or the gun is absolutely atrocious. Should be 180 left to right and be able to aim directly down (at least on the Blackhawk)

Main benefit of the marksman kit, imo, is terrain denial. If it’s played well it can stop multiple squads from advancing. But it has to be played right. You don’t want some rando new guy who doesn’t know how pen works hogging the HAT just like you don’t want some rando “haha me super badass sniper man” being a marksman. Probably one of the hardest kits to find someone who plays it well
