Default Re: First post, don\'t lough

I'm pretty sure its impossible to have a weapon take out a piece of equipment on a tank. Remember, Steel Panthers is sort of a dice-based game at heart, because thinks like its targeting systems, sights, etc, are simply factorable values that change its ability to engage. Its not represented in-game by a an actual additional icon, or additional hit area.

This is the same with ERA and other active defense systems. ARENA and similar are determined by an armored vehicles EW (electronic warfare) value, while ERA is simply added into the appropriate armor slot. What these really do are change the vehicles behavior and how possible damage is calculated. ERA isn't a weapon in game, so it never really "fires," endangering nearby infantry. When a vehicle hit by ERA gets hit by a HEAT round the game checks the relevant factors of the weapon that hit against the armor values on the vehicle.
