Unless your SH is a new mostly unknown persona in your world, very possible scientists have been hard at work developing anti-SH weapons. Kryptonite vs Superman as the classic example. |

Tanks are not generally very good anti-super weapons, because supers tend to have very high mobility. I would expect army tactics against supers to just use small arms against supers that aren't immune (if you have a bunch of guys shooting ARs at you, even super-dodgy characters are gonna get hit), missiles against the more durable targets.

... but that's a problem, because it makes flipping a tank this way easier than flipping one by actually lifting it up onto its side and pushing it over. So, I'd probably just arbitrarily state that being able to flip it by "throwing" it (rather than by lifting it up and pushing it over) calls for BL equal to 1/8th the object's weight (so you need to be twice as strong, but this lets you do it without needing to fly, be super tall, etc). That calls for BL 16,000 (8 tons), which calls for ST 283.

This doesn't reliably kill even unarmoured infantry. Unless you get lucky the best it'll do vs a non-shellproof super is pin them down. Someone then has to go into the area you're moonscaping, find the super, and deal with them.

It's the only option you've got with a super who is impervious to small arms fire apart from another super.

In WWI and WWII you have weapons that are a lot more aimable than that.

Only Russian and Chinese vehicles regularly combine them on the same vehicle, and then it isn't really universal. Western vehicles tend to be one or the other (with an exception here and there).

What kind of artillery are we talking about? I assume shelling an area is anti-infantry, not anti vehicle, and not a ridiculous damage output?
(Incidentally, I was wondering about what the curve on survivability rates would be in say WWI or Vietnam, if the average solider had something like say DR: 5. It wouldn't save them from say, a mortar shell, reduce the threat of things like shrapnel, at least until a medic can arrive) |
