v2.2 Vehicle Damage

[M-Type]

I'd feel like being that close would lead to the M1 taking some damage.

A heavily armoured vehicle such as a tank, even a WWII era one, is unlikely to be significantly damaged by their own shot even at that range. There's sure to be shrapnel flying about and some of the external stores may be blown off by the blast, but all in all, if the hatches are closed (I'm guessing the TC's body as still in the hatch in Pauls example?) the paintwork should be barely scratched.

I remember thinking at the time that the driver of the M1 should probably had his head and upper body both shredded by shrap and been jellified by the blast, (an M1 sits higher than a T-80), and the rest of the crew have hearing damage, But after the "TOW incident," I kept my mouth shut...

They were driving exposed at such close range with enemy infantry present? What madness is that!?

[pmulcahy11b]

It was madness, but mad fun. That was one weird firefight. Hairy.

I been toying for years to convert the driving rules in Car Wars and GURPS Autoduel, but I've never sat down and done the work.

I have so many ideas buzzing around in my head that would be big projects, but I've never put pen to paper on them. Like my idea for a San Antonio/South Texas module to be a more detailed version of Red Star Lone Star called
Remember the Alamo. Or a guidebook to Korea called Morning Calm.

It's really my medication's fault. Not enough waking hours. Hell, I slept most of the day, and I'm getting so sleepy writing this that I feel like I'm going curl up and go to sleep right now.
