: What do you guys think?

: Got any other ideas folks?

---------------------------
How about the rules that already work well...

80% hard break surface
5 or 3 demo color balls break to kill
sachel charge to kill
1 mark from single projectile rounds to kill
5 minute grenade disable

period.

You want more realism ---- how about a ref hands you a card stating your screen room (tank) just blew a coolant hose and it is done for the weekend.
If there is mobility problems for vehicle tanks, there should be mobility problems for carry tanks.
It is the field owners option to have more roads. If given the opprotunity, tankers will create roads to facilitate operation. The best off-road policy I have ever encountered was in Ft. Myers at a MXS game--- If you get it stuck, you get it out. --- How's that for realism!

When a person or group builds a real PAV there is a level of commitment and love for tanking that cannot be mached by someone who chances into a walking tent with gun ports.

There are separate rules and guidelines for those shooting from a PAV. Is the ref going to re-chrono(230FPS)everyone who wanders into a tank?

As tankers we are in the spotlight. When we "F" up; it's hard to hide. Therefore, it is with the utmost caution that we operate our vehicles and keep watch over those gunning from our stations.

We make damn sure that there is nothing going on that will jeprodize the privledge to play with armor; there has been too much preperation and effort expended into this project to screw it up.

Do you really think the kids that chance into tank operation will know the rules and saftey measures specific to tanks?

Does it seem likley that someone with no true commitment to tanking will best represent that aspect of scenario play?

Is there really a need for more complicated tank kill rules when I already have to keep a copy of tank rules handy to show the refs why I disagree with their call?

KEEP TANKING FOR THE TANKERS
