Wait, really? I've always been under the impression that vehicles had Side Armour values in CoH1, which was removed as a mechanic in 2...
I can't seem to find any information/statistics on this now, though. Maybe I was mistaken?
Honestly I am not 100% sure as well, hence I put a questionmark behind my first sentence. I was just ~90% sure because it would have made 0 sense to have that feature in CoH1 and then remove it in 2
