 +==== Light Tank Cannon (LTC) ==== 
 + 
 +The //Light Tank Cannon// is for WW2 era tanks. Shorter range and less effective killing power than later tank guns, it is only ever used with **BASIC** fire control systems. 
 + 
 +**Also:** If move more than half movement, fire control is dropped two levels (so can only shoot at //Close Range// at D4). If moving up to half movement, fire control is dropped one level (D4 at //Medium//, D6 at //Close//).

-Do we need a weapon type in between the KEC and HVC? Most modern tank guns seem to be in the 100mm to 125mm range.+The MTC isn't well suited against soft targets. Against any vehicles with less than 2 armour, hits are **Y** only at all ranges.
