Spirited discussions are a good thing. 🙂
So, no "sorries" are needed, it stayed civilized.
Okay… one more attempt to provide bartdevuyst with an answer.
In HoN heavy vehicles have a front, side and rear armour value. So I took my HoN v1 and looked at the aircraft cards. On each card with the 3 shooting values (vs. Inf, Light Vehicles and Heavy Vehicles) there is a little rule saying to always use the side armour for this attack. Without regard for any obstacles, LoS and other rules (Except on the P38 card 🙄 )
Because HoBR ony has a single armour value for Heavy Vehicles I think it is safe to say that DPG just forgot that extra bonus rule for rear shots when designing the aircraft and their rules.
So to keep in line with HoN perhaps we should all use the side armour (which is for HoBR the regular armour value) ?
PS I have not changed my mind, still think the rear bonus can apply to aircraft attacks just the same like HoN aircraft always shoot at the side armour. The idea behind that is probably that the top armour is lighter than the front armour. Perhaps HoBR top armour is also lighter than the front/side armour ?
