and whats wrong with it? its a natural reaction
if enemy is at slight elevation this wont help you, if you under .50 fire your car will just blow up, if squad is firing at it - it will blow up
maybe this will need some material tweaks, so doors are penetrable by small arms fire etc. but the whole idea is good

Yea but it's still a game. Always remember to see it from the enemies view, of course it's nice for one self, but being up against it would be spammy.

I think thats a good idea, at least u can look at your feet and be sure that your foot is on the gas pedal when u hide P

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.

Agree to that. Cars and trucks shouldn't be any protection at all, except armoured HMMWs etc. I'm tired of people using them as light IFVs...

Depends on the vehicle. A HMMWV's windshield will stop 9mm and 7.62mm but not 5.56mm*.

I like this suggestion. Especially the peopl standing up in the civilian cars should have the option to lower their profile, and it should be a driver's reaction to duck lower to lower his/her own. Of course they'd experience some disadvantages (Like the inability to see where they are driving), but even without them it's not an "exploit". The civilian car materials should all be penetrable anyways, and things like RPGs and L-ATs should be able to spew their motlen metal into the cars, but that's not what's being suggested.

Define 7.62 - You might be protected against the insurgents AK's, but I doubt a G3 will be stopped if 5.56 isn't. So on most conventional maps, there is no caliber you'd be protected against, except from 9mm, but why would anyone try to shoot through a HMMWV with his sidearm or PDW?

I would actually really like to see your source. It isn't that I'm doubting you, I want to use it to combat any armchair generals I find across them intarwebs.

Now this seems a good idea actually. Or have it that ONLY the bomb car can do it as the car itself is pretty weak and can be taken out rather easily with a .50 Cal. This way at least they might stand a chance against BLUFOR. But then again it may make them over powered and mean bomb cars are WAY to powerful and unbalanced. Just an idea.
