I think the impact was on the front side... If it was centrally underneath it could have been different

Very impressed by that APC, but the day thise Zoomalies wisen up, they'll hide in the nearby bushes with a cocked RBG laucher. After such a blast, every occupant is too dazed to defend themselves. And of course they'll open the doors to evacuate.

This strategy will be best feasible if they are attacking something like a supply convoy.

When their objective is to inflict casuaties and demoralize, they don't care if they maim 3 or kill 10.
