(Answered) IO - AirMechs Deliberately Sideslipping
« on: 29 June 2019, 08:25:28 »
The AirMech movement rules are on pages 108-109 of Interstellar Operations, and refer to some of the advanced vehicle movement rules on pages 24-27 of TacOps.

On page 25 of TacOps, there's a "controlled" Sideslip maneuver for VTOLs and Hovers.  IO makes no mention of this maneuver (while mentioning unintentional Sideslips), but it would seem a logical thing for AirMechs to be able to do, since they can hover on raw thrust.  Was this an oversight, or a deliberate decision to disallow this maneuver for AirMechs?

Airmech mode is a WiGE movement mode which doesn't get the benefit of intentional sideslips.

I'll take that as a deliberate call to disallow LAMs that maneuver... thanks Hammer!
