question about hydras

[hyv3mynd]

So I'm reading through the rule book and "skyfire" says the unit may fire at full bs against flyers, skimmers, and FMC's. Everything else is snap shots.

Does that mean hydras are bs1 against ground troops and tanks, or do they have another rule where they can switch modes and/or fire at bs3 on ground units also?

I think your right since the hydra doesn't have the interceptor rule. ( like the Icarus lascannon and Quad-gun do) It makes the hydra a dedicated AA tank, and gives the Leman Russ Exterminator an advantage.

Hahaha well I guess I feel better about losing all those genestealers then. It also makes guard allies less annoying.
