Dave, If historical accuracy was used to determine hit points everybody would be building modern MBT's. I agree that the current setup is not perfect but it is working for the limited number of battling tanks. This is first and foremost a battling hobby and not a scale hobby. Since the hobby is open to all tanks ever produced (and we want it that way to cater to all tastes), I think it would be more advantageous for the hobby to determine hit points based on a designs performance against its contemporaries. For example, a T-34/76 isn't thought of as a heavy tank today but when it was built nothing could touch it, so it would be classified as a heavy. Likewise, the Panzer II-J, would be classified as a light as it would not have lasted more than a few seconds against a KV (the undisputed heavy in 1940 to 1942). Such a classification scheme would allow WW1 rumboids to battle competivaly against M1's and I think that would be very cool indeed.
Go ahead and build the Jagdpanther and build it to the three foot rule. It would be a terror on the battlefield. Steve Tyng -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
