Damage on trucks

[Hardlead]

I have noticed that trucks behave totally unrealistic when fired up on with ATGs.

Yesterday as an example, A truck was driving away from me, PAK36.

I fired He to the rear of the truck, no effect.

Fired AP to the back of the driver (Yes I know they are RHD) no effect.

(real effect would have been, 600+ gram/1,5 lbs shot @ 700+ ms penetrating the tail gate 1" wood, penetrating max 1mm mild steel cab, taking the driver out through the windshield). No effect.

I have found nearly every player and piece of equipment behaves totally unrealistically when fired upon with anything in this game.

Vehicle crews are not updated yet to have the same fatality to frags as infantry have gotten, they still shrug off non brick sized frags
Hatch is working through those.

Non crew kill on trucks, things to hit i have found to work the best
Suspension, Frame (may be tied to suspension), fuel tank, engine.

By the way, if you kill the trucks driver but dont blow up the truck, and truck is in motion
it will continue driving off (with a dead driver) until the guy despawns.
If you have one of those kills where the driver is fubar but not 100% dead, you know like when your atp and blood is sitting there at like 1/4 of a percent
and your vision/hearing is all messed up and you can no longer move but you are still kind of there waiting to die, the truck might go on a long ways.

He might even stop and set an FMS. You will get the kill credit for what thats worth but he has his fru up....

not with a deceased or fully incapacitated driver.

he kind of needs to be able to stop the truck and issue vehicle commands, which he can't do posthumously

Id say that a 37mm 1,5 lbs/600 gram solid shot @ 700ms+ is > than a brick......

On edit, counted to 18 EI kills with PAK36 until unsubbed. I know how to aim........
