Opinions on the Armageddon Steel Legion
There is only one correct answer
Bold way to talk to someone who does recce for a tank regiment. What are your coordinates again? ;)
I've never fought beside them, but I'm always in favor of more tracks. Those enclosed-cab Basilisks, I bet they have great air-conditioning. Don't get me wrong, I love my Salamander to pieces, but a roof would be nice. The sky leaks on this planet.

Heretics when my Salamander calls in a fire mission.
All my haters keep dropping heavy artillery on my position and it's starting to really piss me off

What does your Salamander crew think of Sentinel pilots?
Kinship with fellow scout/light armour? Professional rivalry with walkers vs. tracks? Secret third option?
Part of me would like to mock them viciously. They look ridiculous and brew up if you look at them funny. But I gotta admit, it takes guts to be a sentinel driver. The job of reconnaissance is basically to go out and get shot at so we know where the bad guys are. That's not a job I would want to do in a glorified forklift.
As for my crewmates… Tandiy, our driver, is crazy enough to be one, but I think she'd miss crushing heretics with 33 tonnes of scout track.
Rhionna, our bow gunner, I'ma hafta get back to you on that one. She's having hysterics because of this skin rash she's developed. The medicae says it's called "freckles" and it's harmless, but she's convinced she's dying. This daylight shit takes some getting used to.
The Sarge, if I asked her, I'm sure she'd say something pious about cooperating with the other regiments' recon units, and then something corny like "teamwork makes the dream work". She tries so hard to be a good sergeant. Throne, don't tell her I said that.

You're given a choice between scouting out a heavily shelled city with lots of blind corners and ambush points or a deep wilderness like jungle or swamp. Which are you picking?
I don't know what a "jungle" or a "swamp" is but if they're anything like the wild orchards on this planet I'm picking the city.

Would you take a transfer to a command Salamander variant? Skight promotion but you'd have to trade your automation for a heavy flamer.
Spend all day every day in tongue-lashing range of an officer? HELL NO.
The best part about reconnaissance is having 200 klicks and "vox interference" between us and higher authority. (The worst part is being the first to get shot at.)
Also flamers, while nice to have on your side, don't make that sexy sexy THUMP-THUMP-THUMP.
Hard pass.
(Of course, if it did happen it's not like I'd be given a choice. =P)
