A question about vehicle damage.BF3

How's it work exactly?Is every vehicle disabled before its destroyed and is it disabled first no mater what its hit by?

well I'm guessing that just the ground vehicles get disabled cause if a jet or chopper gets disabled it'll just drop and crash but I don't know maybe that is the way it works but you can still insta-kill vehicles you just need to do enough damage in one hit to take it down to zero. Say a vehicle gets disabled at less than 30% health and you do 40% worth of damage you'll insta-kill it if it's health is low enough but if you only do like 20% damage it'll get disabled instead.

Ok,thats good.See I was wondering if a vehicle was always disabled before it was destroyed,I didnt like the sound of that.

As vehicles take more damage, their performance drops as well.


Example: In the alpha, I was in the LAV and got hit by two rockets. After that, I could barely move and it had trouble climbing hills.

nice good to know that even just damaging enemy vehicles will reduce their effectiveness
