Thanks for the replys, some good thoughts:

Sounds like a good idea, I was just torn between that or the squad
firepower 
die.

No I wouldn't, over those small distances it would be unlikely to spoil
the 
stabilisation, and anyway vehicles fry pretty quick anyway!

No, I wouldn't simply because they would then loose any benefit from
being 
still, I think that no matter how stable the weapons platform, if it is 
still power armour and not an infactry mecha unit, there will be an 
advantage to staying still.

Well this is my point, if you have a longer time to stop and wait for
the 
sweet shot you have a better chance of hitting the target, whereas if
you 
merelysqueeze off a few rounds after you hit the piece of cover and then

dash on again, then you will not be getting much of a chance to aim etc.

What d'ya think
