Okay here is something, what are the thoughts on tanks (hover or wheeled or tracked) with jump jets on them? Is a good thing or not? Looking to see what folks think about this idea. |

they have their uses. i would think that a few units that could be sent over a river(or other obstacle) to protect the pioneers that build a bridge(or make the obstacle passable) would be handy. also in scouting it would be good to have a scout on the other side of an obstacle to guide the artillery fire. over all it is a tool in the toolbox. |

There was an article in Challenge Magazine #36 concerning tanks with jump jets with construction rules. |

I think they make as much sense as with 'Mechs. Maybe more, because a humanoid 'Mech should be able to climb a really steep wall, but no vehicle would be able to. So, turn to the jump jets. |

I love the idea of jump jets on vehicles for improved mobility but those suspensions better me beefy. |

I agree with both Rick Raisley and boilerman regarding that vehicles should be allowed to have jump jets mounted on them [at discretion of vehicle(s)' designer(s)]. But I'm opposed to Motive System Damage Table rolls when landing a vehicle, that's using jump jets, unless that vehicle is attempting a DFA; because theoretically those jump jets would slow said landing of said vehicle to protect said vehicle's motive system like the way jump jet(s) mounted on a 'Mech, that's landing, protects its feet actuator(s) from damage unless said 'Mech is doing a DFA. |

I keep playing around with WiGE designs that have jump jets but have not come up with a design I am happy with yet. |

I like JJs on vehicles. Anything that makes them more versatile is good in my book. |

I would allow JJs for hovers and WIGEs because they have the type of near-ground, jet powered mobility to support having them. I would not allow JJs on other vehicle types. |
