Subject: Aero Design questions #2 and #2(a)
Same design - second question and related question: Size 3, DFO x 1 (4 points,) SLAM/3 x 1(6 points - fixed mount,) GMS/H (4 points,) and (1 cap lost.) The question was raised, "Can't the GMS fire 360 instead of straight ahead?" [Referring to the fixed mount issue] My Initial thought (without looking up the rules) was, "Well I suppose that would be reasonable since the vehicular GMS fires 360 degrees." Then I read Page 41, paragraph "ii)" which says "...Missiles may be fired at targets...a 30 [degree symbol] forward arc." I found that acceptable but not necessary logical (house rule time?) given the system represents an entire "...launcher and supply of missiles (as used on ground vehicles"..." Your comments are solicited. And while we are at it - paragraph "i)" same page restricts 'fixed mounts' to "...straight ahead...on the line of flight..." again personally acceptable but again **perhaps** challengeable. Comments appreciated here also. Gracias,
