I personally like the "no tower" option. The tall tower looks better as a defense than a tank.

Concur with farkongnome. The tower makes the tank look very top-heavy. It is also not high enough to go "eye-to-eye" with a tripod, so why bother. Just shoot the flaming juice up there.

I agree. That tower is far too tall.

It seems pretty split down the middle, so I may just include the tower and as someone suggested, use a different name for each version (not sure about mechanical differences).

I've always hated the tower. It's just goofy.

The tower is what sets it apart. For sure include it, it's one of the reasons I got into the game in the first place.

I think tall towers on tanks look silly and impractical so much prefer the version without a tower. Towers are fine on a non-mobile defensive structure

I like the tower but it does look too big

Maybe the tower lets the flame to reach higher parts of the tripods, supposedly causing much damage.

The AQMF rules give the flame gun the same effective range as a rifle (15inches). A pump system that can launch the flames that far should certainly be able to reach up 50 feet or so from a bit above ground level. Probably reaches even higher to permit an arc that would carry out to rifle ranges.

With those large fuel tanks on the sides I question the need for a fuel trailer. Maybe it should have one or the other. Don't know where the pipes from the trailer would go without the tower. (I haven't seen any rear views of the concept model but from the front it seemed the pipes connected to the tower.)

The trailer is what held the tank back initially, methinks. It is an unnecessary added cost to the whole thing that will not be in our final version. This will keep costs down for everyone.
