So how about the LAV take the same amount of damage that it does to crush a player ie I run over a heavy suit with 587 total hp, my LAV in turn takes 587 hp damage or scout @ 190 LAV takes 190 and so on.
Hardness rating of an LAV's bumper is greater than any of our suits. It why they take damage when they run into buildings, landmarks, tanks, each-other, etc... but crack open our suits like an owl going through a tootsie-roll pop to get to the ooey gooey center. |

I'm all for having damage taken when hitting infantry. The suits we where are heavily armored, and some of the equipment we carry isn't that lightweight either.
Damage on impact to the frame of a vehicle doesn't have anything to do with the weight either, but with the sturdiness of the construction. You can drop an LAV off of a tower without an inertial dampener and it doesn't even take damage. If we tried that we'd splat. Clearly something has superior construction. |

Clearly the vehicle code doesn't take such things into account, is what you mean to say. 
Last I checked Concord didn't regulate gravity. Why would any of their vehicle codes come into effect?
