Soft-skinned vehicles ... a suggestion
Atm, soft skinned vehicles are treated, or at least behave, very much like squads: They only get destroyed when the last crew member is a casualty. This can get pretty annoying, as it leads to
a) unrealistic survivability
b) no chance of a vehicle getting destroyed, but the crew surviving/bailing
I would suggest changing it to a %age for system damage (incl. crew casualties) or outright destruction (with maybe some crew surviving). Chance would have to depend on HEKill, Warhead Size, Survability and Size of the vehicle.
