Weight
The vehicle's mass in tonnes, which sets its power-to-weight ratio and decides who wins a collision.
Also known as tonnage, mass.
Weight divides engine power, so every heavier module, gun or turret costs mobility. The suspension caps how much a vehicle may carry, which is why an upgraded chassis is often researched first.
In a collision the heavier vehicle wins. Ramming damage scales with mass and speed, and a heavy vehicle at speed can destroy a light one outright.
