Id like to unequivocally voice my opposition to speed limits. People who wish to spend more time or money on their drive-train and ESC systems should be allowed to do so without an artificial ceiling. To me regulating the speed is a serious affront to the openness of the sport both to innovation and new techniques.
I will admit im in favour of a /5 defensive rating for super-heavy tanks, as they are indeed at a disadvantage under the current rules. Effective armour should absolutely be in the horizontal plane; hence why armour is sloped in tank design... Not taking it into account dramatically reduces the effective armouring on some vehicles, to the point where it can bump them between categories...
