@GerThunderlordI would like to point out that a wildcat that is playing stationary on the back, already has APS in the form of the Irish specialist gadget, though AGMs can still punch through for now.
I also have a small protest about the jet section: It could become really frustrating for those bellow if the jet cannon can both shred soldiers and tanks at the same time. A well flown jet is already a notoriously hard vehicle to deal with without access to another jet. What would be nice is to make the 30mm pack a bit more punch against the heavy armor it is meant for to make it more clear what it is about.
Nice long and detailed post, thanks for taking the time to put your heart into feedback for the game
