Ducking while in a car

I was playing insurgency, and as i drove towards enemies to run them over, I got shot out of my car many times. I thought it would be great if the driver could duck in front of the dash board, much like the duck system works with mounted Machine guns. I looked in the already suggestions thread, and I didn't see this.

Sounds interesting. After all, a person could do it in real life, but the cars wouldn't provide much protection, just concealment. If the car bodies were made penetrable to regular bullets (are they now?), I think this would be a great idea.

One thing: how would the player model look crouching in those cramped cars, especially the civilian ones on Basrah?

I really like this idea as well. It would be great for everyone - from the driver, to the car bomber, to the random guy riding in the back.

Head stuck through the dashboard like in a messed up car crash and legs out of the bottom like Flintstones I guess
Maybe the duck animation can be edited to have the person bend sideways, since that would be more realistic.
Or even better yet, someone model a new civilian car that doesn't have the windshield broken, since that's the reason Insurgents get shot out all the time.

Isn't the new humvee that has more armor part of the .8 update?

For the military vehicles it would be a nice idea. Not for the civilian ones, though, cause like people already said they wouldnt protect you really...

yeah this is a great idea, and btw most Military vehichles now a days are built small arms proof.
as for IED shrapnel, shouldnt be a problem. ieds ingame are 2 sticks of dynamite and a cellphone, i'm sure that would make it through the window no problem...or atleast shake the vehichle enough to give you whiplash that you would WISH you were dead.

This is the updated Humvee model. Its had the back covered up and all the seats moved inside. As to materials and penetration you'll need to bug a dev. From looking at the pics it would seem there is only a front windshield. The other windows are probably removed so we can shoot from the passenger positions, but again I'm just speculating.

Exactly. You're wanting PR to add something because you want to run people over. No.
It's a useless animation for driving, gunners I agree with 'turning in' but as for drivers, you either shouldnt be driving there or you need to get the hell out of there. I understand you all wanting animations added to everything so you can act as if you would in real life[trust me, id be the first to be hiding behind the dashboard] but its simply not needed enough at all to warrant being worth it.
Itd be nice to have ducking, leaning around corners, resting weapons, etc. but meh...

i dont run people over, ever. i just want this cause i'm tired of transporting my squad and getting ambushed and while driving away get plugged in the back of the head by some lucky shooter on full auto.

When I said, I was driving towards people to run them over, I mean At the time, I was bored and messing around. I'm not usually driving into people and getting shot. The idea just sparked after doing that. Anyways I think the uses for this duck animations can be used alot, especially in urban areas. Some times you don't know when hostiles are suddenly going to be pouring fire towards the front of your vehicle. I agree with you that, this is probably a minor addition, and that it just adds more fancy moves for us players to do, but I think it would be a nice addition
