the manual says: Civilians may be ... shot while using vehicles.
So I'm asking that is the civilians which are inside a vehicle but NOT driving counted as "using vehicle".
Can I shoot/blow up them all (and get away with it :lol: ) or do I need to concentrate at the driver.

Not a big question (and I won't probably see a truck full off civilians) but I've been wondering it.
All most a year since I last played. 'Got high hopes for tonight

it would probably be better for gameplay if vehicles that are not being used cannot be destroyed by blufor, a spawn time penalty or something unless the vehicle was driven in the last 5mins.

I mean...you don't go blowing up random cars unless you're Captain America right?

Not necessarily, if the vehicle is seen as hostile as it does not stop it can be engaged iirc...
