I wouldn't remove the deathstrike after firing - wait until someone
destroys it. ;-)

I don't know what they were like in SM/TL, but something that does d6
kill on a 2+ hits to anything beneath a barrage template definitely
worries me. I don't find it to be as effective against shielded titans
unless you can be patient (and not get counter-barraged, assaulted,
etc. before you fire). But against vehicles and infantry in the
inevitable bottlenecks, it can be absolutely devastating. My personal
opinion is that it should be kind of like a distortion cannon - roll
equal to/over the speed/5cm of each unit under the template. If you
get it, then it takes the d6 death ray hits.
