Adrian pointed out:
> My point is that if we can have a system like this NOW, is it not
reasonable to think that a GMS system 150 years from now will be able
to take on both tanks and aircraft?  Why not simply state that your GMS
systems can take on both air and ground targets.  If you don't like the
idea that they will be equally effective against both types of targets,
how about designating them with a primary specialty ie:  GMS/H-AT for
primarily anti-tank, and GMS/H-AA for primarily anti-air.  They would
operate at full effectiveness against their primary target type, and
less effectively against the other type.  The less-effectively part
could be accomplished by either reducing their damage potential, or
reducing their hit potential - or maybe both.

	My system covers that well, by allowing Anti-Aerospace GMS to
fired at
ground targets. It's just not as effective, only drawing 1 through 5
chits, according to size class, 1 through 5.
