How long has this (PDs) been an issue?

[Navigare Necesse Est]

Or the FAS, which has a PD slot litetrally up its own backside.

Reasonable spot. The only time I died in a FAS was when trying to wake away and they shoved missiles down my rear. Might have been rails as well.

The problem is for a hybrid / hull tank (like the FAS should be) you want decent fire arcs.
