Status: offline 		I've had several occasions when a vehicle was hit, the crew bailed then the message came up that the vehicle was damaged or destroyed, THEN a crew member was killed from the origianl hit! This means that a handgrenade hit the armor, the crew took the time to exit the hatches (admittedly it does not take too long when you are trying to stay alive but still what 5 seconds or so?) then the grenade blast got them??!! This was not a case where some of the crew died in the vehicle but ALL the crew escaped (I saw the # of crew members on the icon) then one was killed and the number decreased by one.

Status: offline 		Larry Since we're letting our imaginations run; what about the crew bails out then the ammo in the AFV or the cargo/gas tank of the truck cooks-off and takes out the slowest runner. Sort of a Darwinian Battlefield. Tommy

Status: offline 		Yeah..i'm with Tommy..i think it's a matter of "cook-off"..(rounds going off from the heat are oh so indiscriminate..they don't care if you're inside,or outside....)..

Status: offline 		Sometimes the crew doesn't have a chance to escape from their doomed vehicle when the shell that hit them ignite their fuel or ammunition onboard. The tank becomes a burning hell, and even if someone in the crew had time to bail out he probably got caught in the blast or hit by a shower of white burning metal shards
