Russkies in Oklahoma!

[Narwan]

I moved in a full Fox for the kill. Bad call. At 100 meters, the Russians opfired with small arms. The LMG burst caused everyone to bail out of the Fox. [...] I don't recall this happening much in 2.5, but in 3.0 adjacent artillery fire and small arms routinely cause all of the occupants to come boiling out of an APC to get their heads caved in. Hello? Wasn't the APC invented to cross beaten zones? Who in their right mind leaves their bulletproof ride under MG fire?)

Got an answer for you there. The Fox isn't an APC. It's an armored car in the game. Armored cars carry troops on top just like tanks do.

I know, I know, that's a bit silly knowing what the Fox looks like. Happens when A) different people work on the OB's (and why Don and Andy don't let anyone lese work on them anymore with very rare exceptions); B) vehicles as the Fox (or BRDM's) are used and/or classified as armored cars in their own country.

It's an issue that's on the to-do list for now as there are quite a few of these units throughout the OB's with this problem. In the mean time, don't use armored cars as stand-in APC's

With regards to the Fox, could be it'll disappear altogether as it seems it is only used as an NBC recon vehicle. Not only does that mean it's stuffed with gear and leaves no room for troops but NBC vehicles don't really have a place in the game.
