When a vehicle is damaged in combat, each time the damage done to it reaches the value of the Damage Resistance, the vehicle will lose 1 point of Durability.

FIRING ON SOFT TARGETS
Stationary target:
  • Choose which portion of the vehicle to fire at
  • Larger target such as a wheel or tire -5 BCS
  • Small part of the target such as a light, -10 BCS
  • Gas tanks requires a Critical Hit
DUR reduction is [Damage Done]/Damage Resistance. Example a car has a damge resistance of 3. 30 Points of damage would reduce the DUR by 10 points. Shooters may target passengers in stationary vehicles.

FIRING ON INTERMEDIATE & HARD TARGETS
Fire on a hard target with small arms or muscle-powered missile weapons will have no appreciable effect. Guns and weapons capable of destroying a hard target are rated by their VDG, or Vehicle Damage Group.

The VDG will be reduced by the vehicle Armor Value of the target in the same way that a barrier reduces BDG. The adjusted VDG is the percentage chance that Hard Target Special Effects will occur. If this happens, the Gamesmaster will consult the Hard Target Special Effects Chart.

The adjusted VDG divided by 10 and rounded to the nearest is the number of points of Durability lost by the vehicle.

VDG vs Vehicle

1. VDG - Armor Value/Damage Resistance = Adjusted VDG.
2. Adjusted VDG/10 durability loss.
3. Adjusted VDG is % chance of Special Effects.

FIRING ON MOVING VEHICLES
If moving, the vehicle itself will have a Combat Dodge Ability (CDA) to be used against incoming fire. This CDA has a value of 1 for each 10 kph of speed.

Characters may not target passengers inside moving vehicles.

Note that riders on bicycles and motorcycles are not INSIDE the vehicle and can be targeted using the CDA of the vehicle as their CDA.

Vehicle CDA = speed in kph/10

Traversing and Targeting Moving Vehicles

Note on MG traverse. MGs can not Traverse into a vehicle target that is moving faster than 40kph (3 hexes per AP at 40kph) in DAT since the target hex is outside of the traverse range behind the vehicle. They need to take a new action to attempt to acquire it aging. If the vehicle is it, the shooter can traverse as the vehicle moves, provided it is traveling less than 40kph, otherwise the vehicle will leave the traverse zone due to movement.

EXPLOSIVES VS. VEHICLES

Any explosives not specifically designed for such use will attack the vehicle with a VDG rating equal to one-half of the effective Blast rating. Since such things are considered high explosive charges, the chance of a Vehicle Special Effect is halved also.

HARD TARGETS SPECIAL EFFECTS TABLE

Special effects take effect on a critical hit.

Roll Effect
01-20 No significant effect occurs.
21-35 The shot was glancing. No direct Durability loss occurs and damage done to the vehicle is cut in half. If this still results in a Durability loss, the loss due to damage will occur.
36-45 System loss detailed by the breakdown. A system (at the Gamesmaster’s discretion), other than one listed below, is knocked out. If no system is available, an additional loss of 1D6 Durability occurs.
46-55 Communications systems are knocked out.
56-60 The electrical system is knocked out.
61-65 The main armament is knocked out.
66-75 The motive system (treads, wheels, etc.) is knocked out. If moving, the vehicle will be treated as if it had received an Accident result of 21-60
76-80 The power plant is knocked out. If moving, the vehicle will be treated as if it had received an Accident result of 21-60.
81-85 The ammunition is hit. The adjusted VDG is multiplied by 2 to get the percentage chance of immediate explosion.
86-95 The Fuel System is hit. The basic chance of ignition is doubled. 96-00 The vehicle’s Fuel System is ignited or discharged. The adjusted VDG is the percentage chance of an immediate explosion.
96-00 The vehicle’s Fuel System is ignited or discharged. The adjusted VDG is the percentage chance of an immediate explosion
