Armor Suppression? Morale checks?

Extra Crispy · Post by **Extra Crispy** » Mon May 15, 2017 6:11 am

My SciFi rules are coming along nicely. The infantry has been perfected - at least as perfect as I can get - and now I'm working on the armor rules (I have rules for when you have 1 or 2 vehicles - new rules are for armor battles with 50 tanks on the table).

Does direct fire at armor have an effect other than damage/kill? Morale check, suppression, pinned?

I'm having trouble imagining what this would be in real life? Panicked/startled crew? Buttoning up?

There are a number of books describing the experience of tankers in battle. They will tell you.

I think the question is not if it does, but how much. I have no soldier experience by any means, but being fired upon would never seem a relaxing experience for me.
What makes you think that tankcrew is not affected by morale or panic?
Edit: oh wait, maybe your armour does not have crews...

@ Gompel: What? mankind could build robots (warbots) without Asimov's 3 laws of robotics?

Shocking!
