You have a point with the Humvee but not with the vehicles. Especially helicopters. Helicopters ARE vulnerable to sniper fire. Pretty much every part of all helicopters are vulnerable to small arms fire. In militay gunship helicopters however, the glass around the cockpit is armored and senstitive areas around the fuel tanks, under the crew seats, rotar assembly are covered with armor plates. Unfortunately we don't have that luxury in Renegade as Shooting anywhere on any part of the Orca/Apache will damage. It's not a realistic game. I kinda agree with what your saying. For example the Ramjet in real life would be more than capable of bringing down a chopper but it would have been much much harder to aim it and get a shot off that actually hits. In ren, there are no physics. Recoil is barely there and not for all vehicles. Funny how you shoot a Med tank and the tank recoils backward while the Arty which in real life would be kicking backwards just stays there in the same spot. It's all flaws and such. But don't worry in Ren X, the ramjet reloads slightly slower. you kill an apache in 5 shots and the rifle hold 4 rounds and that extra time to reload the 5th rifle is most likely enough to get you away. As far as your trouble with Orca getting shot down, I can post here many end-game screens where I totally dominated in flying maps with Orca/Apache killing Havocs, sakuras... The sakuras I rape would usually go back and get a stank to stay safe popping out to fire a shot only when I am near...
