Mechanised Armies, need some help

The above post hurt my head XD no offence intended but wow, you know your stuff.

What really nerfed vehicles imo is the fact that you can't assault after disembarking, even if the vehicle was stationary. You almost have to hope they pop your box and dont kill everyone inside, so you can get off the charge. I don't mind vehicles being easier to destroy, but that particular change hurt.

It doesnt help if the transport breaks in the opponents turn.

They can not assault in the ensuing assault fase.

Something to bear in mind is that in 5th, glances could render a vehicle ineffective for a turn but would rarely destroy it. Now, they remain perfectly effective but break from glances.
And you have a number telling exactly what you need to take it out.

What this does is allow your opponent to maximize his resources spent on your vehicles much better.

Instead of that Rhino being stunned and weapon destroyed, and the complicated math of the chance to roll the best result if glancing it, you now know its one more HP off and out they go.

So, not only are vehicles easier to kill, but you also do not waste as many resources in the process of killing them.

To top things off, blasts are full strength under the entire area. Do not underestimate that!
This has made them way more dangerous to vehicles.
Especially more vehicles close together

or to make it more simple . only gunplatforms worth anything are those that can be delivered to their target without counter . which then comes down to flyers and rarely to stuff like ouflanking baal preds .
6th is the age of shoting gunlines and mecha does still work very well . When it is made out of flyers or has hvy flyer support .

As sob goes . IG ally of course. aegis line for some autocannon/plas IG blobs and a command section + vendettas and/or valks.130 pts for lascannons that get hit only on +6 and can be spamed , cant be ignored.
