Overview:
    Ramming as a viable tactic by hovercraft has long been considered defunct.  Sure there is
    the story about Drillsons fending off a mech attack in a swamp by opening up their throttles
    and ramming them.  But given how quickly hovercraft aquire motive damage, what are the odds
    that story is true?

Capabilities:
    Having long fallen into disfavor,  the Bullet was designed to cannonball into one leg of a
    mech and wreck it.  In theory that kind of plan should work.  In practice the bullet was
    only likely to succeed once.  It was really just a poor return on investment.
    
    The upgraded Bullet attempts to patch the flaws of its predecessor in the hope that maybe it
    can take more then 1 mech out with it.
    
    The first step was making it slightly slower.  Which frees up mass and thus makes it faster
    thanks to a supercharger.  In addition the key structural change is armoring the motive
    systems.  This makes ramming attacks still risky, but not instantly crippling.  The final
    change is the use of stealth armor.  One of the biggest risks once an attack run is started
    is support fire from the flanks causing enough damage to prevent final execution of the
    attack.  Stealth armor makes such attacks less likely to hit, and prevents the tank from
    being a secondary target.  Which is a mixed blessing.  Since it just means the tank is now
    going to recieve the full attention of its targets bodyguards.
