Subject: DSII KV vehicles
I'd have thought the durability and longer life of KV ships would be better reflected by superior but ablative armour on KV vehicles (ie. They get worse each hit they survive). A little too bookwork intensive, so just allowing better armour at high cost may be the better solution, or great stealth.

Aieee! Ablative damage! It was one of my gripes with BTech. I love the simple up-or-down nature of the DSII damage system. Besides, if simply HITTING them makes their armor decrease, they end up WEAKER than human vehicles. I really think the best way to reflect their toughness is to allow them to buy armor up to 1 level higher than their size class.
