crazy game.
It seems way to easy to blow up (destroy) a vehicle. Here's my
example: Let's say you are driving a van and get shot from behind. I
know standard weapons will have a difficult time, but bear with me.
You are using a heavy weapon, you can get through, but its not with
something explosive. The vehicle has the standard damage boxes that a
soft target has. Now, if the weapon has a high enough staging, it can
pierce through the vehicle back and cause a D wound. Vehicle
completely disabled.
I think that if a weapon were firing at a vehicle that has a lot of
cargo space like a van, it has a very good chance at just piercing
that section and messing up what's in the back. It shouldn't disable
the vehicle. I don't think a D wound necessarily should disable the
vehicle. Perhaps some sort of hit location system is what is needed.
I'm going to check my Car Wars game and see if it has any helpful
hints. Got any ideas?

Hmmm. Pretty soon I'll be in that "varient Shadowrun" catagory.
Scary. (smile)
