Re-reading this, I kind of thought of a couple extra points:
First, the Gun pilot should absolutely never, ever tell the mechanized battle armor (s)he is carrying that they are ablative armor.

Third, I really need to do a scenario for my players where they are fighting 100 Capellan Nobles with carbon reinforced fingernails, and Daos as "support" weapons
