Subject: Grav
I saw the posting on Grav. Here's one thought: What makes you think a Grav vehicle is the only thing that needs to equally armour its bottom and top in the GZGverse? If I can invent top attack missiles, I can maybe invent bottom attack missiles. Mines are nasty. We might have a bouncing projectile that hits the bottom armour. I think weapons of the future will be fairly dangerous to whatever aspect of a vehicle they choose to be, and consequently consideration must be made to armouring all sides. Top-attack GMS or rear-attack will be present, as will bomblets. Maybe I produce some bomblet rounds that stick into the ground and explode upward as a vehicle drives over them..... in short, armour must appear on all sides. Or else you run a big risk. And the GZG armour model (right now) seems to support that contention.
