Pouring over Hiromoon's excelent cards I stumbled across these 2 armoured vechiles. What am I missing? Seems like game balance is out of window with these:
-Warrior has superior guns. 2xd10 is better than 2xd6+2 without doubt. Average result is same(5.5) but max score WZ-551 can archieve is 8 while warrior can get 10. Warrior's weapon can also be used to attack air craft...
-Warrior has kill score 13(13??? Is this typo? Would explain a lot...) and better armour save...Incidently combined with weapons warrior has 10% chance of insta killing WZ-551 and 20% of causing armour save to be rolled. WZ-551 has 16% chance of causing armour save to be rolled and no insta kill...
-WZ-551 can carry 2 extra trooppers. Okay that's nice but both carry normal squad and no more so warrior isn't really losing on that. It couldn't use those extra places anyway.
-WZ-551 is slightly faster. First real advantage it has. 2" faster is nice advantage.
Final point: Warrior is cheaper! What the...? Concidering stats are noticably superior with warrior I would have expected costs to be otherway around.
Some reasons I can think of:
1) Hiromoon was working with old playtest versions and final version has balance corrected.
2) Hiromoon made typo or two(kill value of warrior is particulary suspicious...)
3) I'm missing something...
Anybody have ideas?

It was rather dubious that transport would have challengers kill value.
