Explosions dont kill occupants of non-armored vehicles
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When using any projectile that triggers an explosion, for example a missile or a High Explosive Round and firing at a open vehicle ( Offroad Truck / AtV ) in which the occupants are not protected at all; they can still survive the blast and even leave the vehicle until it blows up.
This should not happen, because any blast from a missile or round should be strong enough to kill the people who are sitting inside the car.

People in real life survive being blown out of the hatch of a hit tank. Videos are on liveleak if you care.

As far as I could see, the incidence of casualties in open vehicles is too low because the blast from Explosions only affects the vehicle, and not the occupants directly.

This should be fixed, however, a nearby explosion should not be an autokill unless it goes off directly next to you (even then, people can in rare cases be lucky, or their protective gear works exceptionally well)

The problem at the moment is when you get perfect shots using a DAGR missile or HE Round on a light armored vehicle ( Offroad Truck / ATV ) and the people inside can still walk out safely. That is NOT realistic, because those direct shots cause such a blast that would definitely kill the occupants.

Mass closing ancient tickets with no activity for > 12 months; assume fixed or too trivial.

If this issue is still relevant in current dev build, please re-post.
