This makes flipping the hover AFV with recoil much harder. A hover AFV could easily benefit from using weapons equipped on helicopters. You can do two things, perhaps even both at the same time. Most of the rest of its defense would focus on using terrain and maneuverability to their advantage.
This puts them well into the range of most AFVs, which have enough armor to withstand small-arms, shrapnel and some small autocannons, but don't have much to gain from sporting more armor. Your hovertanks would likely be able to sport armor around any fans it has, making them more resistant than helicopters. With the introduction of the Russian Shilka, firing 23mm shells, most combat-oriented helicopters now have armor and rotors designed to withstand them. If you really feel the need you can always look at helicopters. Hover AFVs would sport less armor, but that isn't a problem, as that is what AFVs do. Imagine those poor tracked tanks protecting a bridgehead while a bunch of hovertanks have crossed a few miles downriver and are now destroying their supply lines, moving back before any tank can get at them. This way you can cross anti-tank ditches but also bodies of water that would require amphibious vehicles otherwise. Similarly your hover tanks might have a boost function that allows them to temporarily bridge large gaps (I do not recommend jumping). And if your hover AFV is the heaviest vehicle that can cross the local marshlands, then it's effectively the MBT of those marshlands. There are tons of different armored fighting vehicles (AFV's) that serve in the army.
#Hover tank full
You might not want to build an MBT out of your hover tanks, but in any army the actual full MBTs are a minor group of the total amount of vehicles. The same has to be done for a hover tank (and mech). However when we look at wheels versus tracks we can list various advantages and disadvantages, then use those to determine when you want to use one or the other depending on the vehicle's characteristics and usage. Whenever mechs and hover tanks are discussed people always only point out their drawbacks and ignore their advantages.
