Can Thunderbolt launchers (TO p. 347) be hot-loaded using the rules on TO pp. 102/103, and if so, how does that impact their damage at minimum range (normally halved explicitly due to the warhead not being armed yet, which hot-loading would presumably take care of)?
The reason I'm asking is that the Thunderbolts' old writeup in Maximum Tech (p. 84 of the revised edition) did explicitly allow this, but I can find no such mention in Tactical Operations in either their own rules section or the one on hot-loading now.
