HMMWV Armour Capabilities.

[TheLean]

Ingame the hummer seems to stop small arms fire. How is it IRL, can it withstand ak47 and ak74 rounds?

according to This site up-armored hmmwv can stop AK47 and 74 rounds

Certainly in real life an RPG is gonna make a pretty bad mess of a Humvee, but then they'd normally be travelling in an armoured column protecting each other from attack and being protected by anything heavier, whereas in PR they're pretty likely to be alone and vulnerable.
There's also no way to have you injured inside a vehicle in the BF2 engine, you're either jolly or dead.

not true i just played Kufrah oil fields, and i shot my LAT at a hummer, and it began smoking and kept on going.

that's strange, i got hit already a couple of times by a conventional army weapon while driving hmmwv and it always set it on fire or destroyed it directly. hmmwv wasnt damaged at all.

The Humvee Will die if it is a solid hit with any LAT in 0.86 even the Rpg7.

But good luck trying to hit anything moving past 2m with the long lol.

the hummer shouldent have much armor to take 2 rpgs in it and it is only on fire i killed a humvee in 2 rpg7s and it was only on fire.

Honestly, this whole thing is kind of a chance game. We have new HMMMVs in the MC with upgraded turbo-charged engines specifically to handle the weight of the new armor put on them.

I have seen tons of HMMMVs drive away from RPG hits with no problem, then again I have seen a few that punched into the cabin and killed people. I have never really seen a HMMMV completely taken out by a single RPG hit though. Then again, most RPG shots miss, so that kind of skews things too, very inaccurate weapon.

IEDs, that is a mixed bag because...as the name implies, it is improvised, meaning who knows what they are using. I have seen a HMMMV drive right through a buried 155 but I have also seen a triple stacked 155 with propane tanks blow through the front armor of a M1A1 killing the driver.

Small arms fire, hah, nothing to worry about there, never seen AK rounds go through a HMMMV.

Once fuzzhead said

I believe 1 direct hit = set vehicle on fire.

But today i had to hit already wounded hummer (it was immobilized) TWICE! (with RPG-7)
And it became just burning.......
