What it means is artillery will be scoring 3x as many hits on WEs as before
and not paying for the increased ability. I don't like that idea, since
I don't envision artillery as titan hunters, and I don't think artillery
needs to be souped up. I also don't like the idea of adding 2nd-ed.-type
special rules that present a new source of possible rules conflict/abuse.
Nor do I see how the game will be significantly improved by the addition
of a "reality" based special rule (which, IMO, has an arguable basis
to begin with). This seems to be the very sort of thing e40k was trying
to get away from.
