    One could model this by allowing turretless TDs a step increase in
signature die. This would make the TD just as armoured as the equivalent
turreted tank, have a bigger gun, but be harder to hit. For example,
size 4
tank carrying a size 4 weapon in a turret with a D6 signature, the Tank
Destoyer variant would be size 4 carrying a size 5 weapon with a D8
signature.
    But in general, turreted tanks are more versatile as they can be
used
for attack and defence.
