Oh man.
I only just noticed something while watching the recap episode that
I really wanted to nitpick about.
Guys, guys,
guys
That is
clearly reactive armor.
What the hell are they using it for during that battle? They're fighting the goddamn BETA for christ sake.
Reactive armor is designed to protect tanks from shaped charges and penetrating weapons, not goddamn gigantic alien rams or powerful lasers.
Against the BETA it only adds additional unnecessary weight on the tank; it is completely ineffective against them.
