- SSR 205.4: The -3 To Kill DRM vs open topped AFVs
with height advantage does not apply in the scenario; the -1 height advantage
remains in effect (Both are eliminated in ASL; -1 applies to plane attacks
only. Use of the -3 drm makes MMG/HMG halftrack killers as are immune to both

the front; 7 or less vs American halftracks in the front).
