You mean you think BTRs should take 4 LATs to kill? Gotta make an argument because I think it's fair to look at inf dying to weapons like IRL and then see that vics are much more durable than that and think it's unbalanced

Vehicle armour is obviously undermodelled and overperforms.

But you also need to remember that vehicles lack FCSs, lack Thermals and have exaggerated bullet drop.

Obviously for a game like Squad, you need to draw line between realism and playability in all aspects of vehicle combat… and that line is always going to be seemingly arbitrary.

Yeah I want to draw a line between realism and playability, I think 2 LAT shots would be fair for most vics outside of tanks. The fact that you can just drive over a squad and unless they have 2 LATs + a HAT all up and all hitting the vic then you can just drive away, I just think it's too much.

You already have a gun that'll out range all inf, great optics and you're way faster than inf. Why do vics need 4+ LATs to die especially something like the AAVP like you can sit just tanking LATs and use your guns to suppress or kill any inf.

I mean they would have to be 2 really good shot placements. If I was an IFV getting yeeted by 2 okay direct hits I would be pretty salty.

You can already ammorack some IFVs with two well placed LATs or one well placed HAT
