[2023] Can we easily revert the mechanical damage to vehicles change once a21 is out?

Looks to me like it won't be half as bad as you think? First off, In A20 vehicles do zero damage to zombies whatsoever- That's why running them over does basically no damage to the vehicle.

In A21, they do way more damage to the vehicle, but you also can actually kill them that way, so it's a rather fair trade in that regard imo.

Beyond that, If you drive face first into a wall, that would total most actual vehicles- So that it looks like it only does about 10% damage is not that bad at all.

Don't drive like a maniac and you'll probably not need to repair half as much as you're thinking you will. Also the vehicle shown is a bicycle; I'd wager higher tier vehicles have more HP and lose less % durability for any given collision.

I wouldn't say zero damage to zeds, but it is very low. Off the top of my head, I think it takes two hits to kill a chicken.

Alright, but can we edit it back through the game files, in case it is as bad as I think it will be?

You will want to visit the Modding section for this after experimental releases to the public.

Alright so there's no current way of editting values like those without going harder on modding? I thought about a more accessible game editor or something. I never felt the need of editting anything out of the vanilla setup, that would be a first.

It's likely to be in xml to some extent, so you could probably mod it fairly easily. I don't see it being an in-game option.
