I have a small question. In vehicles like the transport humvees, why can't you look forward but you can look virtually every other direction? If someone pops up in front of us, wouldn't it make sense that a guy in the back would turn and shoot over the top of the truck? Then we wouldn't have people ramming players.
Imagine if a guy with a HAT or LAT was sitting in the back, and the driver drove up to a tank and shot it. How realistic and immersive would that be?

Actually we used to have that in 0.8(5?) and prior, where you could sit in the front seat (passenger) of trucks and shoot HAT kits out the front.

Drive-by hatting is still possible, right?

If PR makes an awsome 1.0 release, it's going to have to win mod of the year 2013, are the devs aware of that?

Except the mod is not eligible to win the MotY anymore, are you aware of that?

Right now yeah, can do it from any transport vehicle you can shoot from.

With the drive by HAT-ing, when you try to drive an APC or Tank and aren't a Crewman you screen goes black and you'll die if you don't move. Couldn't this be done with the forward facing seats? Keep the HAT and AT kits out of the forward facing seats so only the other "non-bazooka" kits can sit there?

Well couldnt PR win if it got changed quite a bit from the last time it won? Seems like that would be the case with 1.0

Either way, we'd be entering it for sure, but winning it's up to the ModDB guys (and of course the votes)... It's good publicity

So, how much will REALLY change for 1.0? Will it be so much that you will have to relearn everything? Or get used to some new mechanic?

Nah. You can participate in the 2nd round only if you made major changes in the last 12 months. STALKER Complete 2009 was denied entry despite the massive upvote it had compared to allot of mods that made it through.
PR can win only honorable mentions, despite the fact that the last 2 years it still had more votes than the winners

Some new mechanic you say, as if there's only 1.

I don't know of any front facing seats that you can do it from. I was referencing transport trucks or Humvees where you can shoot to the sides. I can say I've never used this method on armor, I've only done it to helicopters that are landing nearby and such.
