I am just writing up my notes on vehicle combat and noticed the following:

QUOTE

SR3 p150, Vehicles and Magic
If the Armor Rating of the vehicle is equal to or greater than the Force of the combat spell, the spell has no effect.

Now I know an Errata was made to the magic section that made a certain Force rating is required to affect inanimate objects:

QUOTE

p. 182: Sorcery Test [12]
Add the following sentence to the 4th paragraph, before the sentence that begins..."Consult Object Resistance Table..."

"The Force of the spell must be equal to or greater than half the Object Resistance, rounded down, for it to affect an object. Vehicles add Body and half armor to object resistance before dividing in half."

My question is this:
Does the first rule still apply in light of the new errata?

As there is no errata to retract the former rule I would assume not.
