AA fire in SST

[Avenger6]

In order to react fire as AA in the air phase does a model have to be ready? In other words does it have to take a ready action as it's final action during it's turn.

Is a pack or internal weapon that fired during its player turn prohibided from AA reaction fire during the air phase?

Is a pack or internal AA weapon limited to only one AA reaction fire during the air phase?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Only squad and infinite weapons get to react, and unless the weapon has "ready" trait no readying is neccesary.
The only exception is the plasma bug, as it can react with its "pack" weapon provided its last action was "ready'. Notice the plasma bug also has extended AA reaction range.

Yes, plasma bugs can only react if their previous action was a ready action.

During the Klendathu campaign we sorta overlooked this, and believe me, skyhooks and slingshots were raining down on the battlefield.

yup, the only time MI get to react AA is when they are in a marauder or standing next to an ammo dump. Or exo sixguns ofcourse

Or with a CHAS armed w/falcon missiles.

Loads of people didn't get this in their early games, flying tends to be a lot more risky in SST over the first few games!

Also, remember that Plasma bugs can only fire once per turn since their weapons are internal, IIRC - so even if you ready/fire/ready - you shouldn't get to react with them in the opponents half of the game turn?

Also true.
Also often overlooked
