Gun shields

[Mobhack]

Gun shields wont happen.

Guns, like MG teams, mortars, and infantry are soft targets, engaged by HE. That is SP game mechanics 101. There are entirely different great big bits of code for hitting armour and soft targets.

At the best - it would be treated as a tin can armoured target, easily penetrated by AP and shell fire (on the bits with 0 armour).

So gun shields aren't happening, nor is infantry body armour.
