Yeah, it was one of the big selling points for the AGS. Engine, magazine, fuel, crew were all situated in an armored cells.
Come to think of it … I think this is one of the issues I had with component armor for Car Wars, because the rules, as written, to me, seemed to deliver little protection, particularly from the larger division duels. I'll have to re-read them. That verse the cells in the AGS which were designed specifically to divert a blast from a direct hit from a 120 mm shell.
I think it's one of the few times that I lost "faith" in the Car Wars rules, but only for component armor. I mean most of my duels were unlimited or upper division, so component armor wasn't much of a factor, but I saw how real component armor was supposed to work. Ergo my questioning of the CW component armor rules.
I guess it's not a big deal.
