I don't think reactive armor will have quite the same effect on a 20kg
warhead as on a smaller warhead.

Besides which, if I were redesigning DSIII I'd ditch reactive armor
all together.  Given the percentage of modern first-line ATGM systems
with dual warheads and/or top attack capabilities, I don't see that as
still being viable in a couple centuries.

I could see letting PDS shoot it down, though.	How about we cost the
warhead as a Heavy MAK round, but resolve effects as a larger GMS/H?

Yeah, I know.  I already wrote a list of things I think need to be
done to revamp the Air Defense system in DSIII.
