Re: [DS2] K'rathri armor designs - first SWAG

Interesting designs, I've just redesigned a lot of my 
vehicles but I've gone the opposite way to these
by becoming cheap and plenty full.

Me neither plus it counts towards the number of weapons 
allowed doesn't it?
I'd rather have 2 APSW.

I tried something like this but found that the desire to
remain stationary while firing those GMS Heavies made the 
infantry attachment pointless and also the APC's got toasted
by Artillery because of the low armour.
I now have minimal armed APC's accompanied by Light Tanks.

Well a combination of weapons is useful sometimes
but considering both of these weapons are stopped by smoke
limits the tank a bit.

Despite your designs costing twice what I now Field
the combination of that Laser range and high mobility
must make this force a difficult one to beat.

Hmmm must remember to pack extra smoke :)
