If you dig up an Armor/Armour Tank book and look at the silouhettes
(sp??)
of tanks through the course of history, you'll notice they become more
and more 'flattened' as time goes on. Makes them a smaller target. So,
no,
I don't have a lot of difficulty with the flattened tanks of DS2. In
fact,
they make perfect sense. You don't want to be sticking your head up any
higher than you have to.

As for the FT minis...*shrug* Dunno. I like most of them as is (not
overly
fond of the larger NAC ships, however)
