Holo fields: worth it?

Bought a Falcon cheap on Ebay yesterday. Never used one, never had the opportunity to field one and was wondering: are holo fields worth it? On the Eldar Online forum the beginners tactica seems to list them as a mandatory upgrade. I'm used to the Wave Serpent energy field being pretty butch, but have no experience with the Falcon. Your thoughts?

YES.
Holofields are definitely worth it; at least in my opinion there's no doubt.

Consider it for a moment: you may get a penetrating hit on your falcon/fire prism. If you have holofields, your opponent have to roll two dices - he might get a 6, and a 1. Only the 1 counts, very nice I think.

Falcons and Fire Prisms are the only 2 units where Holo Fields are definately worth it.

Not that there are many other vehicles in the codex that can take it, of course.

Thought it sounded like a no-brainer. Thanks guys!

You can get it on Vypers but it isn't worth it on them. Falcons and Fire Prism are vehicles worth paying the points for the Holo Field.

I wouldnt put them on Fire Prisms either, ad 2 d6 3~4 is the average, and once that fire prism cannon is gone, the tank is pretty much useless...

On a falcon though they are pretty much mandatory. Even with an outdated codex, Falcons are the hardest tank to kill in the game.

Now that the Monolith was nerfed - yes

Ah yes... the old "nothing short of S10 has a chance of hurting me" triangle of death. You dont know how many Cron players I have seen cry foul that their land raider now dies like a land raider
