*Shrug*  I'm a big fan of the One Big Weapon System
myself.  You may design GW tanks as you please. 
Allowing them to shoot all their guns almost makes up
for the disadvantage they have just through sheer
physics.  Mostly, the fact that my OBWS will, all
other things being equal, and ignoring HELs (as they
just suck, red chits only, FEH!) outrange you much.

Oh, wow.  Let's just make aircraft invulnerable.  60"
is way too long.

At a +1 die shift due to the fact that it's big and
slow.  IMNSHO.

Manual Fire Control??

I like it.  Not enough to try and save the points by
buying it, but I like it.
