Fair warning: 90% of a Yellow Jacket VotW thread WILL consist of folks who think they're well-meaning trying to warn players about how bad it is, so that future generations don't make game-losing mistakes like picking up a Yellow Jacket record sheet. Also, much discussion of a ruleset that hasn't been in effect for about fifteen real-world years.
to be fair, anytime you have to completely rewrite the ruleset for an entire
class of vehicles to make a
single, specific design, less of an embarrassment, the warnings are kind of deserved. (yes, kids, it is actually
that bad, but you have to actually use vehicles in your games against opponents who aren't brand new to the game, to really understand
how bad it is.)
In a sense, the Yellowjacket is the poster child of "Yes, you can do that, the rules allow it,
but it isn't a very intelligent thing to do, and for the resources and BV you can get more of something that actually works OFF the design sheet."
