To continue the picture book descriptions, here is a Humvee setup for BFT/FBCB2:



There is no real way to tell the two apart visually like this, but in a Twilight setting, without hand-waving by the GM, it'd almost undoubtedly be a BFT. Numbers would be minimal at that and although supposedly hardened, their utility would be severely limited at best.

I haven't been able to find out if a BMS can be erased remotely like a SINGCARS radio can, but even if it can, there could still be an opening there between the discovery that a unit has been knocked out but the BMS is still operating and the erasure of the BMS. Any opinions

Paul, to expand on this, the screenshot below shows five boxes on the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. Those boxes, while able to be manipulated manually, automatically report to the network statuses as well. In a perfect world, a battle captain/nco and his RTOs should be monitoring the FBCB2 screen for their AO showing their subordinate units. Anytime one goes black, it means they're dead obviously and the battlestaff can take appropriate actions. Bear in mind, I did say "in a perfect world."

Actually, that is kinda close to what I was going to make my own version of TMP's "Auto-Nav" like for my version, but nice, and very handy topic guys.
