It feels like recently APCs are losing their turret, tracks or both from a single LAT hit 99% of the time, no matter what armor is hit. This has a tendency to make APCs useless on Urban and heavily forested maps, since almost every enemy squad can take out your vehicle without much trouble. LAT should definitely do heavy damage to APC, even OHK to rear armor, but I feel the odds of getting tracked from a frontal hit is way too high right now.

I don't remember it being this much of an issue a few patches ago, if you got hit in the front you could usually RTB, but now getting hit by any LAT is almost guaranteed death because you lose the tracks 99% of the time.

Any thoughts on this?

I don't have hard evidence but it feels like that atleast the rosomak apc has those problems.

Indeed, i also think this inutilizes many APCs (mainly the ones that do not have thermal sight, so they must get closer to be able to engage infantry) unusable as an infantry fighting vehicle. If we could at least have some a way of "fixing" the track without a repair truck (like in Warthunder, maybe) (miss so much the usefulness of the Engineer kit), or if it just cause more damage and have less chance of making the apc unmovable. It makes no sense, you get an AT hit right in front of a BMP, get only around 20% damage, but it just gets tracked.

Btr is the worst when it comes to this.
Irl Btr can loose 2 wheels and move almost the same as if without them.

ever since the bmp was fixed to be tracked all apcs have been fucked

Yeah it's a joke, we got tracked by an rpg-7 to the front or side of a Puma, that thing has reactive armour doesn't it ... Rosomak also is a piece of shit, now gets tracked by the alt taliban rpg7 with one hit to the side.

The Puma on Lashkar Valley for example was almost invincible against the Taliban lat kits some patches ago. Took at least two to track it.

I can confirm, almost every time I play APCs I got tracked when I got damaged. More so than in previous versions.

Aavp gets tracked from lat hit with such a high probability it is ridiculous

Really it is a problem with all apcs and tanks though
