Wow. Place them right off the edge of the board, and let them loose.

Even if you are playing on 7-8 maps, these can stay way back. With this kind of speed you can keep them back from the action fairly easily. Although I can see a 'Bee killer" light that is super fast with LBx ACs.

Like this?
Big Bird (homage to Warhammer: 3025)
30 tons
7/11
ICE 70 - 4 tons
internal structure - 3 tons
rotor - 3 tons
controls - 1.5 tons
armour - 2.5 tons (F: 20, S: 8, Rotor: 2, R: 2)
1 AC20 - front - 14 tons
2 tons ammo - body - 2 tons
Whats the BV for this baby? Its cost is 1 100 000 according to the Vehicle Factory, is that right?
Sure, it's slower than the Saladin, but has slightly more armour, and is lighter. It is also more flexible as far as terrain goes, but all up a lot more vulnerable. If my numbers are correct, it also costs almost 200 000 more than the HOvertank. Yeah, a BV comparison would be interesting. (Really need to get HMV)

How can this be? How can the BV be about 300 pts higher than that of the Saladin?
I've only used VTOLs once or twice - they have a nasty habit of dying.
So, how is it that my design is meant to be so much superior?

Versatility in maneuver, probably. The Saladin is a hover, restricted to certain types of terrain. Your chopper, on the other hand, can move wherever it pleases, completely ignoring terrain.

Maybe this will help. I've not read through it yet, so I have no insight to offer. But I assume it's some difference between hovers and VTOLs. As Warhammer says, a VTOL cares little for terrain.
BATTLE VALUE CALCULATION FOR Saladin Assault Hover Tank
(Hovercraft) (Validated Design)
DEFENSIVE BATTLE RATING CALCULATION:
Total Armor Factor 32
Total Internal Structure Points / 2 16 / 2 = 8
Total BV of all Defensive Equipment 0
----------
40
----------
Multiply by Vehicle Modifier (Hovercraft = 0.6) x 0.6
----------
At full Flank of 12, Movement Modifier is + 4, so = 24
Multiply by Defensive Movement Factor of 1.4 x 1.4
----------
DEFENSIVE BATTLE RATING = 33.6
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
OFFENSIVE BATTLE RATING CALCULATION:
Offensive Weapons:
1 Autocannon/20 + 3 T ammo 178 + 3 x 20 = 238
--------
Base Weapon Battle Rating = 238
Calculate Speed Factor
Flank MP + Jump MP 12 + 0 = 12
Speed Factor = 1.89
Offensive Battle Rating = Modified Battle Rating x Speed Factor
238 x 1.89 = 449.82
OFFENSIVE BATTLE RATING = 449.82
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total BV = Defensive BV + Offensive BV: 33.6 + 449.82 = 483.42
TOTAL BATTLE VALUE FOR 'VEHICLE = 483
BATTLE VALUE CALCULATION FOR Big Bird (Jymset)
(V.T.O.L.) (Validated Design)
DEFENSIVE BATTLE RATING CALCULATION:
Total Armor Factor 40
Total Internal Structure Points / 2 15 / 2 = 7.5
Total BV of all Defensive Equipment 0
----------
47.5
----------
Multiply by Vehicle Modifier (V.T.O.L. = 0.4) x 0.4
----------
At full Flank of 11, Movement Modifier is + 5, so = 19
Multiply by Defensive Movement Factor of 1.5 x 1.5
----------
DEFENSIVE BATTLE RATING = 28.5
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
OFFENSIVE BATTLE RATING CALCULATION:
Offensive Weapons:
1 Autocannon/20 + 2 T ammo 178 + 2 x 20 = 218
--------
Base Weapon Battle Rating = 218
Calculate Speed Factor
Flank MP + VTOL MP 11 + 11 = 22
Speed Factor = 3.29
Offensive Battle Rating = Modified Battle Rating x Speed Factor
218 x 3.29 = 717.22
OFFENSIVE BATTLE RATING = 717.22
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total BV = Defensive BV + Offensive BV: 28.5 + 717.22 = 745.72
TOTAL BATTLE VALUE FOR 'VEHICLE = 746

There it is. Even slower, the VTOL has a much higher movement factor than the hover, which significantly increases its BV.
