0000873: The shielding of the HMMWV / FMTV are very light
The shielding of the HMMWV / MRAP are very light, all templates can stop a HMMWV, because it can not resist the shield and burns immediately after a burst of 10 bullets of M2.

Well, in reality the M2 machinegun uses a caliber .50 which can penetrate the armor of practically all MRAPs (also most APC and IFV). So it's quite "reasonable", having in mind that in Arma 3, when a vehicle is damaged explodes.

MRAPs are meant to withstand only light weapons fire and IEDs (some with attache armor can even "bear" RPGs).

Also have in mind that our RG-33 is heavy W.I.P.

On the HMMWV, well, they are not even armored, so even a 5.56mm should be able to disable them. They were designed as rearguard transport vehicles, not as fighting ones.

Ok, so this version of HMMWV are not made for the fight?, You will create a armored version?

I'm sorry, but we don't know it yet.

I mean, we would like to create the M1151 (the nowadays armored version). But at this moment it's not even in our plans.

Tho we have a few MRAPs in our pipeline (M-ATV & RG-33L for instance), so at some point this year we may release some light armored vehicles :)
