The "survivability variable" is a measure of how well the VEHICLE survives a penetrating hit and then, once that calculation is made the code determines how it protects the crew and passengers and whether they get out or not.

Tanks that explode or burst into flames when penetrated get lower survial numbers than those that don't. That's what affects crew and passenger survival when those passengers are inside the vehicle

Many long time SP players still think of the survival number as crew/passenger survival but it's primarily about the tank
