Soft vs Hard Targets
Posted: Aug 09 2006
Just wondering exactly what criteria was used to delineate between soft and hard target types. I'm going through the unit file and I see lots of hard targets that I would consider soft targets (mostly recon units and a few wheeled APCs).
In my mind, if you can destroy the vehicle with a .50cal MG from the front, it's a soft target. An even more stringent standard is if a near miss from artillery (~155mm) is likely to kill the passengers, it's a soft target.
For example, some of the Humvee units in the game are soft while others are hard. To my knowledge, no Humvee can eat .50 BMG rounds and survive, so they would all be soft targets.
