Level 1 vehicular sensors

Am I blind or are there no special rules for these? I know the raven has like, special rules for its 5 tons of sensor equipment but a lot of vehicles like the Skulker for example dedicate some tonnage to sensors which under the rules, even Tac Ops rules, has no appreciable effect. Is this correct??

Yes.  You might want to note that the Skulker's "sensors" aren't there anymore due to rules changes, though.  Even before those changes came down, it was marked as cargo in TRO3039.

They can easily justify an Improved Sensors quirk from StratOps, though, if your group wants to use those rules.

Oh okay, I was just going off of Heavy Metal Vehicle which of course is a bit out of date. Never bothered to pick up 3039 on the account I've already got 3025 and 3039 doesn't have any new artwork. :)

That's not quite correct.  It doesn't have new artwork of a few vehicles and the original TRO3025 'Mechs.  TRO3039 has new artwork of many of the vehicles and all of the the ASFs, Star League 'Mechs, and everything in the "First In Centuries" section (including the aforementioned Raven).

Yeah now that you mention it, I do remember seeing a few new pieces in my friend's copy.
Either way, now adays when I pickup TROs I find I just look at the stats and the artwork as a lot of the fluff seems redundant (how can you write development background for 500+ units or whatever and keep it fresh??).

So if a book doesn't have a lot of new artwork, like 3058U I just don't pick it up. But if it does, like 3055U I do.

The sensors were also removed from the Warrior and Ferret VTOLs in 3039.
