This is a real point ,Im building a 5`6" long 1/3rd Marder that only takes two hits to kill it. I wanted to build a 4 hit tank but cant fit myself in a 1/3rd scale anything else tank .
At the last UK battle I was explaining to the newbies how my tank (T051) required four hits to kill it and the Marder (T068) only required two hits and the Jeep just the one hit. They looked at me like I was making it up on the spot so that I would die less . I have no idea if Frank / powers that be wish for a rule change here but it would simplify a little.
