Summary

0006549: Gasoline tankers survivability.

Description

Gasoline tankers like RHS_Ural_Fuel_MSV_01 not blow up by m2a3 M242 Bushmaster cannon with HEI-T ammo.
It takes 50-70 M919 APFSDS-T to blow up whole vehicle.
Other less caliber weapon also can't destroy this gasoline tanker.

Steps To Reproduce

Shoot at RHS_Ural_Fuel_MSV_01 tanker by m2a3 M242 Bushmaster cannon.
With HEI-T ammo you can't destroy it.
With M919 APFSDS-T it takes 50-70 rounds to destroy tanker.

It should be easier.

Additional Information

You can puncture a tire, damage engine, kill driver, but CAN'T blow up gasoline tanker with HEI-T.

B_G_VAN_01_fuel_F CAN be destroyed by m2a3 M242 Bushmaster, but also looks too protected.

Gasoline tanker has 5 mm sheet thickness. "Сталь 09Г2С, 5 мм" mean "Steel 'Type of steel', 5 mm"
