Oh, well you said "what happens if it takes a major hit there?" so I
interpreted that you were talking about armour.

My write up has a blurb about the following... I added some more details to
this explaination though...

Opening panels are located on each side of the chest. Inside each chest cavity
is a small radome (for detecting enemies even more accurately), various jammers
(the clear 1x1 light particularly is meant to be a [1] Shtora-like optical
infrared jammer which can stop ATGM-like munitions) and two countermeasure
tubes (can launch CHAFF, decoys, smoke grenades, and flares).

Ah, Variable Projectile Launchers.

All of these systems are reliable, but not foolproof. Obviously, a well aimed
rail gun slug could hit a critical system. A smarm of missiles could overwhelm
the countermeasure systems. A large explosion would pretty much rip the mecha
apart too, as well. ;-)

I didn't mention it in the webpage write-up, but obviously the mecha would
utilize composite armour and ERA (Explosive Reactive Armour) in key locations,
to protect itself.

Good stuff!

I suppose that a CAN missle would be able to defeat the threat very quickly,
but an aircraft could make a high-speed pass, or a pop-up attack, and launch
a missle very quickly.

Yeah that is an option too. The CAN is a high-explosive missile, capable of
defeating most threats quite easily.

That's what I thought the CAN was for, shooting at a Mecha, Tank, or
Aircraft.  Looks like I guessed right!

Just something to think about.  :o)

Believe me, I already do; I love reading sites devoted to military weapons.
Good stuff. :-D

I'm glad too see that you're on your toes!

Hope I've answered your questions Rob...

You did!
