Vehicle Hitboxes

I've searched for it and looked in the already suggested suggestions sticky but in case I missed it then I apologize for wasting the readers time.
The problem: has anyone ever noticed that the small transport wheeled vehicles like the HMMWV take damage if they are shot in places like the windshield or side door? I think it's highly unlikely that a vehicle such as the HMMWV will suffer mechanical failures if it is shot in the windshield for example.
The idea: wrap the more vulnerable (that cause damage from light arms like assault rifles) hitboxes around vehicles critical spots (for example, HMMVW engine area and underside), areas that in reality would decrease vehicle performance if shot at by the appropriate caliber while keeping the hit boxes that can only take damage from large calibers like tank HEAT rounds, light ATs and heavy ATs on the rest of the vehicle.

Its because we still use hitpoints that determine the status of alive versus dead.

But then how come a tank is not affected by an M2 Browning for example?

Good question...

It might still be, but only by a very very small ammount. Therefore if you got say 20 Humvees, with 10 boxes of 50cal ammo for each one and fired continuously, the Tank might just explode!

Would be funny as hell, bit like in C&C Generals, where 20 REbels could all focus their AK47 fire on 1 Crusader and destroy it in under 10 seconds (US MTB)!

Well, technically, you'd only need one to fire twice or thrice the amount of ammo needed to destroy a HMMWV concentrated on the tanks rear armor, from an M2 of course. I'll try that...

Ive spammed the M2 all over an Abrams, it takes 12 to destroy it...well, cripple it, it explodes by itself

The game has M2 machineguns?

Yeah, "M2HB Browning .50 Cal" from the PR guide on the M1114 HMMWV

Ah yes that's true, sorry.
