Transport vehicles arent suposed to shot better than the troops IMHO, they
just need to be faster and give some protection.
As the rules are, they are fast but they shure dont give any protection.
Why not give the troops inside some kind of save if the vehicle is
destroyed?
Maybe their normal saving throw +1, or a 5+ (fixed)? This way troops would
be safer in a vehicle than on foot.
Currently vehicles are only used in the first round of battle to deploy
the troop on the front... no one in is perfect sense would leave them
inside to get killed with one shot.

Give them a ToHit modifier because of their small size and speed. But then
you have to give one to jet bikes also...
Just my 2 cents.
