For some reason VN-3 takes 2 MBT AP rounds to get destroyed. Like in this video where the T-90 shoots it twice as the first shot only damaged the VN-3. And I've noticed it earlier when I was driving the VN-3 on Deployment PUB Shijia Valley - a Challenger 2 hit me once and I was able to run away and RTB whilst only smoking.
As wiki, the god of info, states about the armor of VN-3 - "The armor is welded shut and primarily provides protection from small arms fire and splinters from explosives." It shouldn't have the possibility to withstand two 125mm AP hits.

Re: VN-3 armor too stronk
I think the VN-3 and BRDM overall need to actually be redefined. They are placed on maps as heavy transport jeeps like the VABs and Fuchs. But require crewmen kits.
As far as armour goes, I mean. IRL its got fuck all armour against a 105-120mm gun. An AP round would over penetrate anyways. Best to use HEAT against them. in 1.39 HEAT would track lavs. Im sure it would do the same now unless dev magic.

Doesn't AP overpenetrate light vehicles? Goes through like hot knife melts butter. Use hefrag rounds or HE instead

Even if it did overpenetrate, the small fragments that flies of the first penetration (inside the vehicle) would kill every living breathing being in the VN-3.

Should be a one shot kill, thanks for the bug report.
