So how does KV armor Level 1 effect the RG damage routine you have set
up?
If you subtract 1 point of RG damage per level, class 1 and 2 RGs can be
useless. If you throw less dice per level, again the smaller RGs are
useless.
KV armor has to somehow be effective against their own weapons, but not
totally defeat them. So the only other thing to vary is to have the
armor
modify the to-hit roll by the armor level, so you have to be closer to
the
well armored ships to damge them. Is this what we want, armor modifying
the
to-hit roll?
The only other options I can think of are A) Go back to FB style armor
or B)
Back to a MT style of to-hit roll and then a separate damage roll
which is
modified by the armor level.
Opinions?
