I believe that in an assault the passengers disembark to fight the attacking infantry, so will often take casualties rather than the vehicle. |
They do occasionally try to dismount as part of the assault code, in order to protect the vehicle. And if they survive they can get to shoot the attackers in the face - sometimes.
I have seen a vehicle get toasted leaving its crew plus some angry ex-passengers in the wreck hex who then shot up the assaulters as well, but rarely.
