Tactics Question, ...how would you kill an APC? Options

[Shinobi Killfist]

The cannon is the point where the reaction changes. A citymaster comes with the turret, the roadmaster doesn't. If you slap a turret on the roadmaster the reaction will be the same as the citymaster, if you slap a autocannon as opposed to a watercannon on it and the response will be bigger than the standard citymaster.

A armored vehicle does not in itself draw any kind of reaction, you will notice it but you wont be calling anybody for backup. Any time and corp wants to transport goods of value it is going in a armored vehicle. They will be somewhat common on the roads, much more common than a armored car of today would be. And last time I checked I don't call for a swat team every time the armored car pulls up to the store to collect that days cash drop.

Full agreement on my part.

My point exactly, thank you.

The ype of armor still has some effect - an armored truck won't raise eyebrows. The same armored truck with added anti-RPG slat armor or reactive armor tiles will draw attention since thes are designed to defeat military grade threats.

Granted, but so will any vehicle with said armor or weapons. If you somehow mount armor and an autocannon on a shopping cart you are going to get the same response.

Wait....when did the Roadmaster change from an RV modeled off of the Citymaster to an armoured car?
I mean, seriously...I had just been continuing to use it as I had original read it ages ago in RBB....

When the owner slabbed 20 points hardened armor on it

A bottle, gas and heavy oil mix. The Russians used it on german tanks in WW2. It raises the temp inside the tank until it gets too how and the people past out and die or they open the tank up and vent. If they do that you throw a grenade in the hatch.

Going off topic: Actually it was the Finns vs the Russians in 39. IIRC-it was named after Molatov who was the Soviet foreign minister at the time.

Even the Roadmaster is described in SR4 as a heavily and obviously armored truck. So yeah its like an armored car of today I'd think. Slapping on an extra 4 armor(citymaster level) probably does not change how obvious it is, if you somehow slapped on an extra 10+ then it would probably be more obvious.
