Which raises a question in my mind. Namely, does anybody else think the
dammage/firepower represented by ortillary to be UNDERpowered? I think
that
the effects and destructive power in ortillary firesupport is too low
for
the energy levels involved. If a anti ship gun can hit a target ship
several
thousand (or is it million?) KM distant, and inpart enough energy to
burn
through/destroy 100 tonnes of armour in a single turn (however long a
turn
is, but the energy wouldn`t be inparted over the entire turn, the target
would maneuver to avoid the shot, so the energy would come form a single
part of said turn), ortillary should be able to hit anything above
ground
with enough energy to destroy whatever it hit.
Which also raises a use for walkers, lower signiture from above.
