Description[edit]
The Flotation Hull is a combat vehicle modification that can be used by hovercraft, VTOLs, WiGEs, and conventional fighters. A vehicle equipped with a Flotation Hull can land on water without sinking. This makes it a useful modification for vehicles that spend a lot of time on or over water. The system takes up no real space in the vehicle, but does double the cost of the vehicle.[1]
Rules[edit]
Game Rules[edit]
A Flotation Hull can only be fitted to the vehicles listed earlier. It allows the vehicle to treat water hexes as Clear terrain. A Flotation Hull doesn't take up room in the vehicle or have a weight penalty, but does double the cost. Units that are using their Hull are treated as displacement naval vessels for purposes of line of sight, sinking, and hull breach rules. A vehicle with a Flotation Hull will not sink or be destroyed in a water landing unless armor in an area other than a turret is completely destroyed.[1]
