The Civilian Hatchback armor seems to have been increased compared to other Civilian vehicles. I think it is strong enough to withstand 7.62mm, but it will definitely withstand 6.5mm rounds to the engine or fuel compartment without a scratch. Past versions of the game allowed the engine to be easily damaged by pistol caliber.

Possible fix:
I changed the name of HitEngine hitpoint from "motor" to "engine" and created a radius of 0.25, which I sourced from the vanilla SUVs config. The engine now seems to take damage in a similar way to other civilian vehicles. I am a novice modder, but here is what my patch looks like:
class CfgVehicles
{
class Car_F;
class Hatchback_01_base_F : Car_F{
class HitPoints{
class HitEngine{
armor = 0.5;
explosionShielding = 0.5;
material = -1;
name = "engine";
passThrough = 0.5;
radius = 0.25;
visual = "";
};
};};
};

The engine and fuel tanks are both taking damage now and this issue is resolved. Thank you and keep up the great work!
