1) The idea is that PDS is less effective against
artillery than GMS, which makes sense.

2)I like the idea of keying it to size, not number of
chits.	Artillery doesn't shoot more rounds at
infantry, the rounds they shoot are more effective.

Eh?  Then what would be the point of firecontrol? 
You're basically saying "Hey, let's save a lot of
points by making guys shooting over iron sights be
better than fire controls".  

No crew, no matter how effective, trained,
experienced, or elite, can be even close to as
effective with a Sherman's fire control system as they
can be with an Abrams fire control.  Electronics
matter, and matter greatly.

I like Beth's suggestion.

If one guy is sticking his head out then the rest of
the crew won't get killed by small arms in return.
