Here the closesr target 1 is behind cover so 1 s more diff lcult to hit. In lh~s situation the tirer may shoot at target 2 even though It is further away because It is In less cover, or larget 3, allhough even further away bacauss i! u a larger target.

lruggics and other vehicle models are usually left in place aa 'wrecks' when they arc immobilised or crippled. Thrrr wrecks do not amount to viable targets so you are not obliged to shoot at them. Similarly, n vchiclc which has no occupants can always be ignored, as can a vehide whose occupants are all 'down' d u e to injuries as cxplainccl later. Warriors on foot that are 'down' can also be ipored when choosing a target.
