Bulletproof glass for insurgent armored trucks.

[Bing_Chilling]

Currently, there is no point in using the armored trucks for the insurgents. The windows of the armored trucks are not bulletproof and extremely easy to get headshotted, especially the back window. I rather choose the regular trucks for the insurgents, as the armor of the armored truck is not worth the trade for visibility, speed and agility.

By giving the armored truck bulletproof windows, that can resist at least 308 rounds, will make the armored truck a much better vehicle for scouting, hit and run and of course, "Suicide IED tactics "

I don't think that it would hurt anything if that was added.

That said, my thoughts on this are fairly similar to my thoughts on the open topped, turreted vehicles. Often people get way too close to the fighting with these vehicles then get frustrated that they were easily shot out. In a sense, range is your armor. As you get further away from the enemy that might be shooting you, it becomes much harder to effectively snipe a guy out of the vehicle. Though it also works the other way around. As with a lot of things in this game that many folks believe to be underpowered, it really comes down to how they are using them.

It might not be much, but I found much more success using the SPG-9 technicals when I would shoot at enemy armor from much further ranges then when I would try to engage them from up close. This kind of thinking can easily be applied to almost any of the vehicles. Try finding that sweet spot between range and how accurate your shots are.

for these light vehicles, i understand to use speed , agility and map knowledge as tools for scouting. But the thing that annoys me the most, is that the 1 enemy you cannot see. The armor is suppose to protect you from that, but currently these windows are huge weakspots. Getting 1 shotted from a flanking tactic is no fun.

If they buff LAT it'll be a good idea

The developers just mentioned in their latest stream that they are somewhat working on this. Apparently they don't want the pilot to be outright shot out of the helicopter by a single autocannon round but they do want the pilot to be able to start taking damage so that there is a bit more danger to flying.

If you are getting headshotted inside of a vehicle you have other problems. If you want to drive around alone, without any support that's the risk you take. Insurgents aren't supposed to achieve parity with other factions, you have to use different tactics. Using the armored techie don't park on the road and fight in the open, or don't park where enemy infantry are likely to ambush you. Best case is rapid movement, only stopping to get your shots off if you have to.

I have already talked about the usage of the armored truck already in the main post. The problem is that, it is not worth it to drive the armored truck, as it makes no difference protection wise.
