Default Re: mounted guns destroyed by artillery

An APC is an armoured vehicle so it protects its passengers. A prime mover is a soft vehicle class, just like a truck, so it does not. Even if the OOB designer added armour to it, the passengers are riders like on a tank.

If I have arty to move around the place then I usually look for a half-track or similar APC with enough carrying capacity to use. Especially if trucking mortars or ATG which do not react well to being in a soft vehicle hit by fire.

Also - in the next release the forced dismount (with attendant risk of casualties) for passengers of soft vehicles or tank riders will only be 70%, not 100%.
