Shooting Through Vehicles

Just wondering if it is gonna be possible to shoot throgh a vehicle to kill the pilot. Like shootin a galaxy pilot with a bolt driver and bringing every one down with him. Pretty sure it wont be in the game but thougt it would be sweet

Through glass? I hope so, I posted a few threads around this subject myself, outlook good.
Through armor? That would suck vast quantities of ass.

You can shoot through glass, and through the open-air buggies. I don't think that the Galaxy/Reaver/Skeeter can have their pilot killed. Even if they could, it would be very hard.

The Reaver is armored. The galazy pilot can be shot out from the galaxy BTW.

nice that sounds awesome. I was hoping you could do this, but with no separate hit locations i wasnt sure.

btw doesnt the galaxy auto land if the pilot is killed? i thought i read/heard that somewhere.

Yes, the galaxy autolands. The misquito can have it's pilot killed by shooting through the glass, be a little hard to do from the ground though.

No hit locations doesn't matter. Glass in the game is probably just a visual effect (as far as the game is concerned, nothing's there), like clouds and grass, although those can be used for cover and therefore have a use.
