Yes, you can have a soft-skinned vehicle destroyed without each of the crew members having to be taken out separately.
Admittedly, that happens when the damage done is big enough (direct arty hit, tank round, ATGM...).

If enough HEkill (or is it PenHE?) is applied, obviously all crew could be casualty at once, resulting in an instant explosion of the vehicle.

But i remember seeingcrew abandoning their (soft-skin) vehicle when pinned and one or two guys had been killed.

Abandoning because of failed morale check, maybe. But have you ever seen a
destroyed vehicle, with some bailed survivers as it happens with tanks?

Consider that when firing at a truck or so, your have an easier job and better chances taking out the crew first than trying to bust the engine or anything.

Sure, but why should killing the crew destroy the truck?
Quote:
If I have understood anything in what you said, you suggest switching soft-skinned vehicle to AFVs' damage system?

More or less, yes.
I would like to see truck get "abandoned" when the crew is taken out, or destroyed, with some survivors crawling away.
This comes from the "blackhawk down" article at
http://inquirer.philly.com/packages/...default16.asp.
and playing Gunrunners "Strike To Mogadishu Beta 2.0".
There it's told how some dozend vehicles where shot apart, crews rotating until no-one was unhurt anymore. Nevertheless, the hummies and trucks didn't spontaniously blow up, but kept going even with what in SP terms would be high system damage, only left behind after behind totally unable to be moved any more. Or some truck blown apart, with some it's crew getting away unhurt.
Something that does not work out that way in the SPMBT scenario.
