Well put, Mike. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike Mangus Sent: Monday, December 16, 2013 2:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [TANKS] Re: The E-100 Think I have to respectfully disagree that they are a disadvantage. The super-heavies can be built to the 36" rule versus the 1/6th rule. That would lighten the tank considerably. That is the beauty of the rules as they stand. A person can build a tank for playbility, scaled realism, or even both. Before building my first tank, I was fretting about which tank to build that would not give me a disadvantage. After finally making a battle, I see that tank choice is really more about building what I like and overcoming the obstacles of getting it built more than what advantage/disadvantage the tank might possibly have on the field. In the end, just making a battle with my own tank was a better reward than waiting to build the "perfect" tank. As for Steve's question: in all honestly I would like to build a prototype vehicle, but realistically know that it wouldn't happen soon or even within the next few years even if protos are approved for the game.

There are two reasons imo why the super-heavy tanks are unlikely to work well in the meta-game. Firstly, same problems as real life; slow, cumbersome, big target, dont like mud and soft ground etc. Secondly, they are huge for no advantage in the game per the rules. If we added a defensive rating of 5 for tanks that were over 100 tons (not that im advocating this directly, just pointing out an option), then at least there would be some advantage to being the size of a duplex...

I was wondering, to those lurkers (and not-so lurkers) on the list. How many of you would actually complete a combat ready tank if you could build that E-100, PL-01, or any other proto-design that's been discussed over the years? Go ahead, be honest.
