Description:
You are still able to be killed as the driver of the AAVP when shot on the turret with a LAT. I was driving up a road and the AAV was ambushed by a Chinese soldier with a LAT kit, the projectile impact killed me as the driver. I though this was supposed to be fixed? Or is it intended?

Steps to Reproduce:
Shoot at AAVP turret with LAT.

Tested On:
Operation Barracuda, 64 player, TG, .966b

This has happened since last version, I'm not sure if it's intended or not.

It's a bug that was reported when AAV7 first came out a patch ago.
Sad that it didn't get fixed though, because AAV7 is a superb vehicle that uses one of the coolest weapons: precise nade spam. But if your driver gets killed in the armored vehicle from 12.7 mm or a LAT, you're vehicle is immobilised, and if you're in the wrong spot of the map, it usually means sure death.

And speaking about LAT's. There's also one minor (comparing to AAV7 bug) bug that was reported but hasn't been fixed. LATs (LAW, RPG-7, anything really) don't damage it's shooter, even if he's standing 1 cm next to the target. But it can kill others. So for now let's pretend the LAT specialist has some sort of full-body next gen armor. Original thread: https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f26-pr ... -lats.html

yeah I've killed alot of aavp drivers. All I did was shooting the "glass windows", that are located on top of it, with the 14.5 mm main gun of the btr.

confirm that 14.5mm kills AAV driver in 0966 not just 0957 please?

I can confirm

weird stuff

The other night our full AAVP got hit by a LAT and the entire squad on the back got killed but the driver and gunner drove away. Needs to be looked at.

I can confirm as well. Mutrah and Ramiel.Driver dead, vehicle unharmed.
Hand grenade near frontal armor killed the driver on Mutrah.

I was actually hurt by a rock that a Civi threw, I think it hit the back left but I can not remember.

I've actually once shot the driver of the AAV with the boats m60 on Muttrah when we were fooling around on some COOP/training server
