I think what has gotten lost in translation between various sides
of the discussion is that really the penalty should not be applied
for *having* a higher maneuverability vehicle, but *using* that
maneuverability (at least this is how I'm reading the current run
of posts). Just because a tank has a movement base of 15" with GEV
as its maneuverability platform does not (should not) make it any
harder to hit than a slow tracked behemoth if they both only move
4". Now, if it is moving at more than X" in a given turn (let's call
it 10"), then perhaps a penalty should be applied to the firer's
ability to hit the target. The point costs shouldn't matter whatsoever.
