[0957] Crewmen shot out of AAV-7 - Page 2

This happened to me too, lost my driver twice, once to a 30mm MEC cannon on Muttrah and once to a Gary on Faludja, always from the front.

But I thought that the AAV is just so lightly armored that it's a feature, not a bug.

The AAV's ability to have the crew die or be injured through penetrating shots should be either modeled for all vehicles, or fixed for the AAV7.

Has happened to me too, Following along the lines of JakCurse.
Just doesn't happen to me as much, but there will be a lucky guy, who gets a lucky shot, which kills me.

The other day I was rolling around Muttrah in a BTR and I guess I had shot the driver out 2 times in a row giving chase. My driver tried to get us as close as we can to hinder the MK19 trajectory and when I started unloading on the front armor the AAV7 went engines off. At the time it made no sense as we could clearly see the crew had not bailed, but now I understand what happened.

It's not very tough to reproduce, I did it unintentionally and short of reading this thread chances are I would not have known what had happened. It is kind of cool to have the ability to stop an IFV by shooting out the driver but it kind of defeats the purpose of being "armored".

How many LAT hits AAV can handle? Because i destroyed it with one lat rocket [rpg26] to the front. Is it intentional?

From what Ive experienced its always the player in the second seat that gets hurt. Every time i get in Kiowa or attack Huey and it gets fired upon i get hurt but not the pilot. This has happed to me couple of times.

Might be intentional because AAV's are becoming very outdated and are being replaced by EFV's eventually. They are known for being poorly armored.

Its most definitely intentional and realistic, but for gameplay, its one of the most retarded changes I've ever seen. If no other vehicles crew/passengers can be killed, the AAV's shouldn't either.

My guess is that this is probably the result of the fact that the "armor" in PR simply reduces the damage by a certain multiplier, instead of having an all or nothing penetration system with the heavier weapons.
