~D, Review the archives and you'll see we've been having these scale discussions since day one (search "horizontal thickness rule" or "abomination" in particular). The intent is to be inclusive of all vehicles that ever saw production so we cannot rely to heavily on real word performance of the modeled vehicles. If that were the case, then everybody would be building that Abrams you mention (or pick any other lookalike modern MBT) and that would be the end of it. Boring IMO. In fact, there's been discussions to decouple all scale factors from the rules and base speed, defense, and offense rating on the length of the model as built. This is were we will probably go at some point but there's really not enough battling tanks yet to make it worth the effort.
As far as other weapons used in paintball. Your more than welcome to bring some to a battle and we'll run some scenarios with them to see how that work out. There can of course be a scale or pro league as you call it. Your more than welcome to write-up your own ruleset, get a bunch of buddies together and build vehicles, and go battle them. That's how the current hobby got started. A pro ruleset might be fun for some mindsets, but would lead to more discussions over hits than actual battling. Just an opinion of a novice in the game. ;-) Steve Tyng Steve Tyng -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
