Can we just have a certain "guesstimate" caliber hurt passengers in a vehicle? For unarmored vehicles, everything above .50 cal, for light armored vehicles, everything above 20mm, medium armor (APCs and above), 30mm and up, heavy armor would just take 40mm and above.

Also, HEDP M203 rounds would be fantastic for taking out BMPs.

Western Heavy Armour is Chobham and therefore largely unaffected by almost all rounds that utilise explosives, this includes spalling effects. You'd then have to take into account which vehicles/forces use spall liner, it seems rather over the top tbh.

You're in the Army ? Are you qualifie on any armored vehicle ? Even seen the interior of any A.P.C. ? Ever drove one ? Ever seen a real 25mm cannon shooting on armored target ? Or you're just guessing that every single western armored vehicle is invincible ? I have done 16 weeks of training on LAV25, I have done 5 weeks on the M242 and you ? Yeah my Qualification is done since only 5 months, but how much time you spend the real LAV25 ?

It doesn't matter, because I'm not the one who's claiming to have qualifications that come with being a mechanical/structural engineer.

gameplay wise I think it would be ok if passengers took deminished damage from heat rounds that hit at specific locations identified as weakpoints

though its my opinion that the damage zones for most of if not all PR vehicles need to be re-examined in detail as part of this endevour to increase armour survivability in combat unless hit in a selection of critical areas.

Why did this thread die? It was entertaining as fluffy bunnies.
