If I have a number of designs that mount less than 2 tons of armor, should I go for BAR-5 armor? I mean, they can barely stand up to standard weapons anyway.
I have a 4 ton vtol (combat veh design) that moves 15/22 (a fast spec ops transport style) off of a 10 rated engine. It's got .5 tons of standard armor which gives 8 points of armor overall amount 5 locations ... not really going to take a hit from anything.
BAR-5 would give it 12 points (have lots of other wee vehs like that too). Any weapon over a MG still takes this down, why use full blown BAR-10 armor?
