Why are big name streamers not talking about how the Aston Martin is a pay to win skin? In the patch notes it says that because of the high seat position you will not be able to be headshot from behind. Also the vehicle does not take damage from grenades/reduces damage. I get that they should focus on the dragunov RNG damage, but pay to win items are just as game breaking, in my opinion.

Personally I am not a fan of any vehicle hitbox changes as they mess with a lot of things gameplay wise and that's a slippery slope on the road to pay to win.

The character position in the vehicle is often changed as well as certain parts of a new vehicle could block incoming bullets better / more than the original vehicle.

- Character position change + vehicle hitbox change will cause you to have to adjust your aim and lead when shooting which means your built in muscle memory goes out the window as soon you face a player with a special vehicle skin.

- Driver seats are elevated, offering full protection from bullets which means it is IMPOSSIBLE to kill the player driving away from you if you are looking at the rear end of their car.
