Agreed.
What we're trying to decipher here is which "to-hit" number is the correct one when concerning Seeker Missiles and Fliers. When responding to an
ML, the codex says that the Seeker hits on an assumed
BS of 5. When shooting at fliers normally, you require a 6. If the weapon is
AA-mounted (like a Sky Ray's Networked Markerlights are) then the normal
BS is used for the weapon actually firing to hit.
The question remains: is the Seeker considered as being "the weapon firing", thus hits on a 6, or is it "the weapon responding to the firing one" and thus follows the rules in the codex for hitting on BS5?
It will make a huge difference in this game one way or another, so we really want to find out the answer!
GW Mail Order says to go by the Apoc rules of 6 to hit unless involving an
AA-mount because fliers are so expensive points-wise that it would be unsporting to have something that could take them down so easily.
