That's probably because most combat vehicles in use today were designed
before the OA missiles were invented :-/ Such missiles exist today (the
Swedish army uses them, and I'm pretty sure the US army have bought at
least some as well), so there's no reason why the vehicle designers
shouldn't adapt as fast as they can. A century or two should suffice, I
thing <g>

Yep :-)

Yes. It is possible to disable a vehicle in SGII completely, but its
armour value doesn't come into the mechanic - only its suspension (the
higher from the ground, the less effect of the mine). How realistic it
is
I don't know - John?
