Vehicle damage

[retrospaz85]

So I was tinkering around with making a set of Heavy gear esque mechs, and im noticing a few things. I remember in previous incarnations of traveller in a few of the missions the G carrier was supposedly an eggshell craft where light autocannon rounds could penetrate. I'm just getting a feel that armor isnt matched to weapons ie first few tiers of machine guns and auto cannons cant hope to penetrate even a AFV ..with 120 some armor or even 90...thoughts?

That's by design to ensure the toughness of afvs. If you consider a modern tank with 90 to 120 armour, it should be throwing off even apds rounds from modern tanks. Maybe I misunderstood but are you looking for smaller calibre guns to penetrate heavy armour fighting vehicles?
