Scenario: Two vehicles racing side by side. The passenger of one points a semi powerful weapon towards the other vehicle...and the person inside. Blam!
I know the rules state this:
The victim gets cover (closed vehicle) plus the armor value of the side as a negative DM to the shooter (Page 132, Core)
So the shooter fires and despite the negative DM, they succeed and hits.
But what do they hit? The vehicle or the person they are aiming at...or both?
I’m not grasping when you apply damage against the vehicle or when the person is damaged.
Does the attacker declare their target person or vehicle? And you apply armor soak to evaluate what the damage is to the intended target?
I’m over thinking this most likely but need a hint.
