VTOL Hover Mode Rather than leave the table as per normal, the flyer may choose to engage is VTOL Hover mode to remain on the table. It remains stationary, but can turn in any direction to bring its weapons to bear. It may fire all of its weapons.
For the purposes of being fired at, the vehicle counts as a moving Skimmer. It can therefore be fired at using the firer's normal BS. All hits are treated as glancing hits. It can only be attack in close combat by attackers that can fly or have jump packs, in which case it is treated as a moving vehicle.
If the vehicle is immobilised the model is destroyed.
At the end of its own turn, the vehicle may disengage VTOL. It not reverts to being a flyer. It cannot return in the enemy turn immediately afer it leaves the table.
