More Rulebook Questions - Calculator edition

It only scales for hand-held weapons. Unless the tank has arms and hands, it's not hand-held.

And how does it scale?
If size of one weapon >= structure size x2 then it can't sprint and has -structure size" move?

It's all in the table at the bottom of 8.1.

Long (L)
2xSize"
use as Two-Handed Weapon
two-handed
cannot Sprint or throw weapon

So, no movement penalty, according to what I wrote there.

I always forgot that movement penalty in the old rules anyways.

Even though the rules are quite clear I still feel like some parts take way to much text to explain relatively simple concepts.

This has been my biggest focus for the last couple of months. My usual course is to write out everything I can think of, cover every possible base, and then delete 90% of it over the course of playtesting.

Hahaha that explains a lot of what I read.
Do you feel like this is the most effective creative process or is it simply the most fun?

Other people do things differently; it's what works for me. It's not the quickest way to get things done, probably.

With regard to general game design, I've always done it that way too.
If you don't start by trying to think of everything, you're bound to miss something.
