Can bullets go through vehicles? for ex. can you go next to an enemy tank and fill it with wholes, and kill the guys inside? that would be great

No, unless the vehicle is open-topped (such as the basilisk) and you can see the crew.

Yea if its a glass cockpit you can also shoot through it.

Thats new, I though that only buggies and bassalisks allowed you to shoot the occupant.

lol.. that would be so funny shooting the pilot of a galaxy with the maximum number of people in it, and it spins out of control, and all you see is bodies ejecting out of it.. LMAO i would laugh so hard

It auto bails the people thank god. I wouldn't wanna go to the bathroom during a long flight, and come back to see "Pilot Dead, EJECT EJECT" flashing on my screen. If you bail, can you shoot at stuff? That would be fun.

Alrthough it'd have to be an uber sniper or something. Hard to see someone able to one shot kill the pilot. Although the auto land system wouldn't really make it a big problem.

Dunno where people got auto eject from?

I dont know how autoland works, - i know it autolands you on disconnect. As for the pilot dieing I dont know if it autolands then.

A little info:

Bullets can go though the glass of the cockpit in the reaver and skeeter. You can not kill the pilot of a galaxy though the glass.

Buggys are open air, no glass to shoot though. Can hit the people inside pretty easly.

Currently bullets do not pass though objects in the game. If you hit a tree/vehicle/rock/hippie the bullet hits it and stops. I am not sure if the burning hulk of a destroyed vehicle has collision or not, If it does you cant shoot though it, if not, well, you can.

I have no idea where tobias is getting that info about not killing a galaxy pilot.. its glass, there is no reason that person cannot be killed.

As for the reaver, it is closed cockpit - fully armored. You cannot shoot the pilot.

you wouldnt really need an uber sniper, just some guy with a minigun, spraying bullets into the cockpit of the galaxy

I've noticed that as of late, Tobias has been pulling info out of his ass. If you notice he also thought that the Vangaurd with the 2 150mm cannons was more recent than the one 150mm with 2 20mm's.

Tobias, please check your facts before posting.
