However, if you're going 2nd and don't want it destroyed, you can always reserve it and bring it on to take its free shot in the following turn.<br /><br />And while it can opt to target two fliers with the 2 turrets, it does so at a penalty to its BS. And one final note is that neither of these is more than one we pay for one whirlwind, now. So if one get's smoked it's not an enormous loss, and they're easy to double up on without breaking the bank. :)Son of Dornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04694742423899579008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-36370238096705037712013-08-15T06:53:13.199-07:002013-08-15T06:53:13.199-07:00Personally I hate Interceptor.

Half of their function is to distract the enemy. <br /><br />If you have AA and your own flyers then you have what you need. If they go after your AA then your flyers mess him up.

But 8 shots at S7 is going to drop any flyer out their in a single volley (well, perhaps not with my dice). And if you can squadron them...<br />Don't forget if you have an ADL with quad gun you also have 4 more T/L S7 shots that do have interceptor and you can put the Hunter/Stalker in their for the 4+...get a free intercept shot then force him to decide which gun to try and kill, the AV12 with 4+ or the T7 with either 2+ or 4+.<br />And even hitting on 6's, 8 shots should give you a few hits...can you prescience a vehicle?
