Tank rear armour versus Pods

[Gimpylung]

I'm pretty sure rear armour on tanks was made weak so that other tanks and infantry had an Achilles heel to exploit. That's fine with me, I drive tanks and that kind of mechanic is perfectly acceptable.

Supposedly top armour is available as an option on tanks to reduce damage that tanks receive from aircraft. Unfortunately it's utterly useless as rocketpodders are exploiting the weak rear armour mechanic designed to give ground forces a chance against the tank.

It would be nice if damage from rocketpods specifically to tanks sensitive fat arses was reduced so that they can't make dust out of me in just one pass.

Maybe, modify top armour so that it also increases rear protection from pods specifically. That might make top armour a worthwhile addition to a tank again, it was only ever somewhat justifiable to use when libs were OP and the sky was black with them.
