Well, to be fair, I think that HPA's kind of deserve this kind of treatment. Jerks...
I dont' really see this being necessary against Steam Tanks, honestly. Just hit them with a cannon for solid damage and they're much reduced in capacity. 2 Bolt Thrower hits will do as an alternative. They no longer blow themselves up quite as easily, but they will still be much less dangerous.
Steam Tanks don't really drop off in capability when they suffer wounds, anymore. They become a lot more likely to roll on the mishap table, but not a lot of results on there actually reduce damage output. Some results even increase expected damage.Originally Posted by timff8
Well sure, they're not as accident-prone as before, but once you reach 7 Wounds you've got a 50% chance of mis-firing. Even if you're not bleeding D3 Wounds anymore, it still sucks that you may not be able to do much of anything, or even explode.
It's likely you'll face more misfire rolls than before, but the point is the mishap table doesn't straight up stop the Steam Tank from acting. Try one in a game, I think you'll that once you take a few wounds you start a march towards blowing yourself up, but while that's going on you still keep hitting with almost the same level of power.
