Pricing Request
I require pricing of the following item
Panservogn-1 Medium Tank
Notes: Do not be put off by the rather detailed countermeasures section, it contains no more countermeasures than installed on a run of the mill T-90 model tank.

Re: Pricing Request
I'm concerned over the electronic interference counter-measure. What exactly does it do when it jams the electronics?
Otherwise I'd say its price is the same as the standard MBT.

Re: Pricing Request
I'll break it down as it is somewhat dual purpose -I'm concerned over the electronic interference counter-measure. What exactly does it do when it jams the electronics?
Anti-Missile
The vast majority of current guided-missile/rocket systems (i.e. those not running by wire guidance) use some kind of RF transponder or laser guidance set-up. When such a signal is jammed (in the case of RF based systems) it is same to assume that the missile will either self-destruct upon loss of signal (or a signal which might cause an error, which a jamming signal could) or continue on its last known trajectory. Obviously self-destruction upon loss of signal or reception of an erroneous one is the most favorable outcome. However, in the case of proceeding on its last known trajectory, it may be a trajectory which doesn't intercept the tank or one where a tank moving at full speed could quickly evade or possibly destroy with the top turret mounted minigun. In the event that the tank is unable to destroy or evade the jammed missile, a moving tank would receive much less damage than a stationary one.
Communications Prevention
Preventing communications between enemy positions and their headquarters is a major advantage when you look at just how necessary proper battlefield communications are. Mass spectrum jamming has its obvious advantages. Leaving a small range open for our own communications (which would remain classified) would a bit of a vulnerability, but interception of radio traffic (if, by some chance they're using our specific frequency) would be a valuable asset and simple radio silence on, then jamming our own signal would counter this.
Obviously they're just counter-measures, and they aren't 100% successful. But they do help curtail the loss of equipment (and most importantly) the loss of highly trained personnel. Guided Anti-Tank missiles are a modern and very real threat, so a wide array of counter-measures are required to meet this threat. While RF based guidance systems are being largely phased out and being replaced by more advanced laser-based systems, ignoring a threat, even an aging threat is just bad design.

Re: Pricing Request
Your final paragraph put my fears at ease. Considering now though the huge effect that it has, probably bump up the costs of MBT by half. I think its 50 for an MBT? 75 may be better now considering its impact on the battlefield.

Re: Pricing Request
I am good with 75pts. The countermeasure system may be a bit more extensive than what is currently in use as far as anti-missile defense, so a 50% increase in points is reasonable. A lot of people see countermeasures as tickets for invulnerability, but every countermeasure has its vulnerability, I just won't list the ones for mine publicly .
