> I've struggled with the open-topped issue too.  For both the lower AV
and
open-topped issue, it seems best to come up with a new capacity point
system
and charge points for armor.  In addition, it seems to me that the
advantage
to open-topped vehicles should be reflected in open-topped troop
carriers.
They'r more vulnerable, but you might try establishing house rules that
make
loading and unloading open-topped APC's quicker than for normal, or for
allowing effective infantry fire from the back of them.  I don't know
about
realism, but in terms of playability it's doable and helps justify even
bothering with open-topped vehicles.

I've been thinking that an open topped AFV, is much like a
vehicle-portable
trench. So maybe, have the infantry count as dug-in versus infantry
attack?
But in open versus artillery

What do you think?
