That "ablative armor" idea is interesting... I would be curiou to know how well that works. 

I can imagine a trash truck with MoRams on all 4 sides... lol.

Probably because it is challenging. Even with uber gear, killer gangers and map knowledge, it periodically reminds you that your little gangers are not superhuman.

And they can die.

And THAT sir, adds to the depth of the game.

This is also the reason you will eventually quit.  ;-)

Yeah I've "Taken a break" on this game for a couple of weeks at a time when I've suffered bad losses. But I always seem to come back.

Because its fun and challenging. It wouldn't be AS fun if it weren't so challenging. When you get so invested that you forget that ultimately, the quality of your REAL life doesn't really suffer when you lose a car or a ganger dies, you will enjoy the game even more in a slightly different way.

Recently, I had a return scout in BL where my path took me through the oncoming opponents to get to the gates. My Trash Truck caught fire during the fight with a freak bottom armor shot and slowly grew until I had to stop and try and get my guys out. Unfortunately, by the time I got it stopped, 3 gangers were unconscious and couldn't get out and the one I did get out was too close when it blew.

1xCC, 3xHMGs, 1xHGG, 2xHeavy Rockets make quite a big boom. I lost my best large gunner, a gunner with over 100 in both Lg Guns and Gunner, an over 100 handgunner and two Lg Gunners at around 80. Frustrated? Yes. My response: I took a deep breath and immediately went and got replacements and worked through my loot. If DW went down today, what would you REALLY lose? Your time investment only.

For me, if I wasn't investing time in this game, it would be another game. I find this attitude, cultivated through over 25 years of "computer" games serves me well and keeps my stress level down. Hope this helps.
