The dark eldar Ravager is the only heavy support choice that offers the mobility and firepower needed for a skimmer-based army.  The most popular configurations for the Ravager are with 3 disintegrators for an anti-personnel use or with 3 dark lances for an anti-tank work.  Most veteran players are reluctant to mix weaponry on this unit as it diminishes its effectiveness for its primary role.  A popular wargear upgrade for this unit is a night shield, which reduces the range of all enemy fire against the vehicle by 6".  This can often times allow the Ravager to survive for an extra round or two by keeping enemy weapons out of range.  Generally, the best strategy for using Ravagers is to keep them well back in your deployment zone and screen them from incoming fire with your Raiders.  Ravagers should be moved so that they can only see and be seen by the target that they shoot at.
