can it be done?

Its POSSIBLE, but its hard work. You'd have to place the players in the model at exact spots. Then there's the issue of "I just shot the loader's head off.. but there's only one guy in the tank so what happens? Does he die? That's too easy.."

As for BF2, I've never been shot out of a vehicle, but all I use is hellicopters. The tank shells are woefully weak - hitting a DPV with a 125mm HEAT shell causes it to smoke slightly.

This might work, make it so that when a tank is hit with an AT rifle, an the bullet can penetrate, then have the guy driving the tank lose some health. I know this is possible, as when you drive a vehicle under water in FH, both the vehicle and you lose health. Also, I agree that it should either penetrate or not, XWW2 style. I get pissed when my Char or Souma gets hit in the front by the 38t or Stug3B, and loses health, instead of the shell just bouncing off. Meanwhile, my 47mm does like half damage to the 38t, when it should blow the damn turret off it.

You can make it so that there is a certain amount of armor "behind" the original armor. This way the armor cannot be pierced by say a BARs bullets, but can be pierced by a Boyes. I don't really understand it myself with my weak knowledge of coding and skinning and so on. Heck I'm almost a complete newb to computers, I just started like 4 years ago.....

Well, of course, the good ol' Ha Go should be able to be knocked out by the "Poor Man's AT Gun", ie, the BAR. Hell, a Garend or an Enfield should knock it out. Even a knife could, as the kinfe could jam the turret ring. I know some accounts where american troops just hid in a ditch, and when a Jap tank came by, they jumped out and pushed it over. :lol:

It's probably not coded intentionally, but in your case, it's 1944, planes did have protective cockpit glass by then, and you're firing a 9mm pistol. So the results seem realistic to me

IIRC Spitfires only had armored glass in front and the pilot sat deep in a armored seat with a headrest that sorta wrapped up on the sides and around the back, protecting the head, back, arms, legs from shrapnel.

The side cockpit glass is just plexiglass or lexan and should have been able to be penetrated by the slug and the side of the fuselage is aluminum sheet so its not bulletproof either. The seatback is mostly to protect from rear quadrant bullet strikes.

LMFAO, damn, we won't be seeing this in FH any time soon will we?:lol: God, I wish I could see that...

I know XWW2 is doing the BAR thing, and maybe the Garend.

LOL pushed it over lmfao. That's too funny! Imagine the looks on the Japanese faces. After 6 months of armor school, they finally get to the front and get PUSHED OVER by a bunch of Americans.

lol japs equipment is anyway so weak...

I know, make the armor o the Ha-Go like glass on jeeps and trucks. Then you could shoot through it and kill the guys niside. Same problem, but you can see that the game engine PUTS you in a spot. thats y whne you press F10 the camera is slightly to the right or left. Or, in the case of planes, the center, sice you are in the center. I think on the Tiger its easiest to see this, but youll see what I mean when you do.
