Since they re-did the damage model.  It sucks.

Not only that any open topped vehicle.  My M-18 got killed by a single pass straffing run within the past week.  Perk vehicle?  Not really.

Why shouldn't it kill a wirble? A 20mm canon round should have no problem penetrating the unarmored top of the wirble and destroying it.

You can turret wirbles with the .50 cal machine guns on.  I've never killed them, but I know for a fact you can turret them.

yes turret them,  kill them NO

There was a bug with the flak panzies that ignored damage after the turret was taken out.  That has been fixed and now they can be killed by a strafing plane because after all they were an open top vehicle with the crew exposed.

I pumped about 170 rounds at d1300 into a wirb from a manned ack and it just drove off.......didn't even track it.
