Default Re: Soft-skinned vehicles ... a suggestion

Yes, you can have a soft-skinned vehicle destroyed without each of the crew members having to be taken out separately.

Admittedly, that happens when the damage done is big enough (direct arty hit, tank round, ATGM...). But i remember seeingcrew abandoning their (soft-skin) vehicle when pinned and one or two guys had been killed.

Consider that when firing at a truck or so, your have an easier job and better chances taking out the crew first than trying to bust the engine or anything. And that if say the driver takes a shot, one other crewman can replace him, involving reduced readiness, higher suppression. I think that lies somewhere in the rules, that vehicles with reduced crews lose abilities.

OTOH, I personnally find more annoying the AFVs taking ** damage without me having a chance to know how the crew is going.

If I have understood anything in what you said, you suggest switching soft-skinned vehicle to AFVs' damage system?
