Vehicle Combat

Chases and Races Chase/Race Maneuvers Difficulty 15: For aerial vehicles, this includes stressed take-offs and landings, ratations, hovers, and mild turns and banks. Difficulty 20: For ground vehicles, these include hard turns (trying to turn up to 45 degrees), emergency stops* (doubles the vehicle's decel rate for that turn), and controlled skid* (turning the vehicle sideway and skidding to stop; vehicle comes to a complete stop). For aerial vehicles, these include rapids dives and climbs, hard banks (turning up to 45 degrees), loops (reversing direction), and emergency braking (doubles the vehicle's decel rate for that turn), and jinking (evasive maneuvering; opponents are -2 to hit). Difficulty 25: For ground vehicles, these are nigh-impossible turns* (46-60 degrees) and bootlegger reverses* (allowing them to reverse direction at the cost of half their current speed). For aerial vehicles, this also means turns from 46-60 degrees. Helicopters and vectored-thrust vehicles may go straight up or down. * Hovercraft can not do these manuevers, which require ground traction.

Chase/Race Travel Conditions For ground vehilces: Totally open terrian (salt flats, open plains, huge parking lots, etc.) is dufficulty +0. Hazardous terrian (mostly empty city street city streets, two-lane highways, softsoiled turf) is difficulty +5. Very hazardous terrain (woods or forest, crowded urban streets, etc.) is difficulty +10. For aerial vehicles: Open sky (nothing to crash against) is Difficulty +0. Hazardous terrain (flying within 300m of the groud, poor visibility such as clouds or fog) is Difficulty +5. Very hazardous terrain (flying within nape of the earth, or through really tight confines) is Difficulty +10.

In a crash, the vehicleskids its current speed in meters in direction

traveling, hitting anything in the way (1d10 per 20 mph/32kmh of vehicle speed. This damage is assessed against the vehicle and whatever is hit.) If two vehicles crash head on, add the speed together. If vehicle is rammed from behind, substract the speeds. Weapon fire is not possible while the vehicle remains out of contol or in a spin.
