I was in a APC and it took 2 hits from a tank to kill... Then later I was in a jeep and hit 3 times before I sploded...

did you even look at the health gauge? it didnt go down at all, thats because the tank cannon is glitched in 1.2.

jeeps should be able to take a couple of grenade launcher hits - a grenade launcher is primarily an anti-personnel device, not anti-vehicle, and the humvees in this game are the up-armored variety. its main purpose was to give a bit more distance to frag grenade throws - although in BF2 everyone throws a grenade like a star quarterback.

now im no military expert, but this forum has no shortage of them - id wager a guess that you could fire a dozen grenades from your M203 grenade launcher at an up-armored HUMMWV to no effect beyond perhaps popping the tires. the crew would probably survive driving over a mine as well.

then again, if you fired an anti-tank rocket at one they probably wouldnt just hear a 'beeping' and have ample time to get out and run away unscathed either. so much for realism :)
i think the anti-tank kit needs some love. now that engineers have received a massive boost by giving them spammable 'smart mines', and C4 has always been a quicker way to dispatch a tank, anti-tank is only the third most effective way of taking out vehicles. it should be #1.
