[DS2]Tank Destroyers

Another interesting topic.

I think it is clear the present day Tank Destroyers are VTOLs and fast 
Wheeled TOW carriers. However that doesn't mean that it will always be
that 
way. Sometimes it's hard to argue about the future, enough said.

The real issue here is that you know it and I know it, Tank Destroyers
are 
cool. When you see a picture of a STuG IV SP assault gun you think, that

thing looks way cooler than a Panther! Mostly because it is. So let's
give 
the TD a little edge to make up for its weaknesses. 

I'm not too worried about the fact that you cannot move and fire with a
TD. 
I always "try" to place my TDs in defensive positions with long sighting

distances. The only problem can be with units manuvering just outside of

your arc. I do not think that it is too unrealistic for a TD to rotate
and 
retrain a weapon on the moving target over 100 metres away. Maybe this
is 
why DS allows a 30 degree arc. Beyond that maybe we should allow the TD
to 
rotate as a movement and fire, even if you have to use one less die for 
fire control. Thoughts?

I like the idea of dropping the signature (I didn't think of it) or
giving 
a special D8 hull down for all shots?

I like the idea of increasing the frontal armour by one.

If we allowed a larger gun, size class plus 2 then I think you should be

forced to pay for a fast tracked chassis and get slow tracked
performance. 
Thoughts?

TDs
-Max Weapon class, vehicle size plus 1 or (plus 2, fast tracked moves as

slow tracked)
-1/2 move, 1/4 move or x degree rotation allowed before firing, fire 
control die drops by one.
-Signature is reduced by one or additional hull down D8 appiled.
-Frontal armour may be increased to 1 above vehicle size.
-TDs get +1 at everything because they are cool.
