I think only some of them should die, not all of them. Or once the tank came close to blowing up, they could just automatically jump off.

A kangaroo is a marsupial from the family Macropodidae (macropods, meaning 'large foot'). In common use the term is used to describe the largest species from this family, especially those of the genus Macropus, Red Kangaroo, Antilopine Kangaroo, Eastern Grey Kangaroo and Western Grey Kangaroo. Kangaroos are endemic to the continent  of Australia.                    -Wiki

The KANGAROO carrier is named after it. In Australia, the shortened version of kangaroo is roo. Therefore, this "game slang" has nothing to do with some "intelligenzbestie" and comes from my country. Seriously, how can you not know the word roo? What the hell is wrong with the word anyway?

Now, if some of you don't start to repent on your opinion of roos not being OP I may start to have a different opinion of the level of intelligence of this community. The roo is one of the most overpowered units (that is not a bug) in the history of video games.

FYI, units in halftracks are extrememly vulnerable to flames, nades, mortars and snipers. In fact, a single hit of most of these can wipe out nearly everyone and a sniper will often kill several men with one shot. Also, when the halftrack dies:
1) All men inside roll and have a 50% chance to die instantly (only 25% for roos)
2) Ones that survive have a 50% chance to lose 50% health (not 100% sure on this one, roos are only 25%)

I don't think tank riders should take that much damage from the tank dying. They're not that good anyway and you can't just jump them back in another carrier. They're also the main point of going breakthrough so they shouldn't really be nerfed.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

I was playing yesterday as PE versus AI-US and i deployed an infantry halftrack, fought, and reach level 1 of experience I choose def. I was carrying two squads of grenadiers and a sniper shot at them. No body died :O. I wonder if was caused by vet o by luck. On topic, I think tank riders are fine as it. I was going to say "perhaps a little nerf in cost" but their cost is fairly well.

You got lucky, snipers do occasionally miss things. Like an mg crew in a building grrr...... One of the most annoying occurrences in the game.

But if the vehicle exploded while you're inside or on it, you should be killed. Or atleast fried enough to resemble Half-face on Batman.

Kangaroos are OP, and I needed many, many panzershreck and panzerfaust shots to finally blow it up. And then not to mention the troops inside of it who should've been dead.
