Summary

0006755: BMP-3 lower frontal plate hit catastrophic failure

Description

1-4 hits from AP-autocannons, be it 25mm from Bradley or 30mm of BMP-2s (RHS mod versions) from any distance into either of the 2 lower frontal plates of BMP-3, causes engine loss and even catastrophic failure (full hull damage and explosion). Top frontal plate and turret armour do not have this problem.
BMP-2's do not have this problem.

If BMP-3 is an upgrade, and has spaced armour in front and engine in the back, I think this kind of weakness in the front lower armour was not intended and is maybe an oversight/bug.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Spawn a BMP-3 (early/late/vesna)
2. Spawn any RHS vehicle with an autocannon ( M2A2 Bradley, BMP-2, BMP-3)
3. Get into the second vehicle, take aim at lower frontal plate of BMP-3 (either of the two lower frontal plates)
4. Select AP rounds, fire 1-5 rounds from any distance into lower frontal plate
5. Watch the boom/check the BMP-3 for damage (engine loss/huge hull damage)

Additional Information

The lower frontal plate covers about half of the forward silhouette of the vehicle, thus presenting a huge target. It almost makes the vehicle unusable competetively in any vehicle on vehicle scenario.
Other parts of the vehicle are not this fragile/behave correctly.
