What I meant was a det of 2 warhounds keeps their crew benefits as long as
one of the warhounds survives, and a SHtank det of 3 loses theirs if they
lose 2 tanks (assuming the crew doesn't eject/gate/whatever). Of course, a
Tyranid player has no option for such a thing. Maybe there should be some
"neuro-pod" survival that allows the hive-mind to retain those abilities?

Thank you.

I think the difference between 10 fp (2 wings + 2 SHWs) and 13fp can be
significant. I think it can even make a difference between 13fp (with cc
weapon) and 16fp. Most of the FF I have seen are in the 20-30 range, so 3
more can be a 10% difference, though it will probably be a bit less, since
with a titan the level is likely to be higher. In short, I'm not sure.
