• 0 - No change.
• 1 - APs deducted from vehicle are also deducted from all passengers.
  Example 1: Passenger has 70 AP, vehicle 100 AP when turn starts. Passenger shoots for 20 AP, has 50 now. Vehicle drives for 60 AP - passenger loses 60 AP too, has now -10AP.
  Idea is that APs correspond to the time and time flows for all inside the moving vehicle even if they do nothing. Note it's possible to end up with huge AP debt if you waste all APs, and then drive.
• 2 - APs deducted from vehicle are also deducted from all passengers, but adjusted to initial APs of any given passenger.
  Example 1: Passenger has 70 AP, vehicle 100 AP when turn starts. Passenger shoots for 20 AP, has 50 now. Vehicle drives for 60 AP - passenger loses 42 AP (60 / 100 * 70), has now 8AP.
  Same as above, but treats single AP not as a time unit but merc specific amount of things given merc can do in a specified time unit. Still possible to end up with huge AP debt.
• 3 - APs deducted from vehicle are also deducted from all passengers, but only to the certain threshold (default setting).
  Example 1: Passenger has 70 AP, vehicle 100 AP when turn starts. Passenger shoots for 20 AP, has 50 now. Vehicle drives for 60 AP - if passenger didn't shoot, he would lose 42 AP (60 / 100 * 70) and have 28 APs now. Since it's less than passenger's current 50, he ends up with 28 APs.
  Example 2: Passenger has 70 AP, vehicle 100 AP when turn starts. Passenger shoots for 70 AP, has 0 now. Vehicle drives for 60 AP - if passenger didn't shoot, he would lose 42 AP (60 / 100 * 70) and have 28 APs now. Since it's more than passenger's current 0, he ends up with 0 APs.
  Idea is similar to the 2, but acknowledges that actions can be concurrent - mercs shoot WHILE vehicle is moving, only sharing, umm, vehicle's timeline at the specific moment.

:yikes:

Would like to show vehicle portrait on its own, but in 640x480 there's not enough place for vehicle + 6 mercs :<

• In case you've been working on tanks, how would aiming work? As tanks can face one direction but look into another. Perhaps, if this even works, have one designated driver and one designated gunner. Looking with the gunner would turn the turret (and would also provide an incentive to man tanks with more than one person).
• The main balancing issue with tanks would be the main gun. Idea (no idea wether it fits current implementation): Let's say the tank has a main gun, in the turret that the gunner uses, and an secondary MG that the driver uses. These guns are stored in the tanks' soldier inventory. If a person enters a seat, he momentarily gets control of that (and only that) gun (move it to his hands and use tank firing anims). If we then use external feeding to feed ammo exclusively from tank inventory, we have made tank ammo a resource. Ammo for the main gun should obviously be rare. If the player has to buy every shell singlehandedly from Tony, and the tank consumes like it should, tanks might be less useful than feared.
• Tied to that: Perhaps have a special inventory for the tank - less space than a truck, dedicated slots for ammo, extra fuel storage, dedicated gun slots.
• Tied to that: have guns in slots be fixed (unremovable - sort of like Nails' vest). Then allow - as an repair assignment - maintenance crew to replace the guns. So, say, Dynamo would take an RPK into his hands and could replace the tanks MG with it. Only allow certain guns to be used. Have the main gun only be useable by the tank.
• Required AI modification: increase considered threat value of player tanks tremendously. Modify AI so that it only ever uses explosive weapons against tanks. If all else fails, increase propability of AI getting RPGs tremendously exclusively if the player has tanks in this sector.

Screwing around, I reenabled AI tanks movement for a test.
