I don't think anyone was arguing they wouldn't know that the vehicle was
hit,
just whether or not they had to bail out of the vehicle. You may not
know if
the crew of the vehicle bailed (depending on the layout of the vehicle,
noise,
and smoke) but I think we were all pretty much in agreement that
everyone knew
the vehicle was hit.

My own house rules make bailing out the default action, with a
confidence test
required to stay in the vehicle. Sometimes you may want to stay in the
vehicle. Perhaps the vehicle is a GEV skimming across some sort of
quicksand
lake. The squaddies may have a chance of getting sucked under/drowned if
they
bailed. In this case, staying in the vehicle may be a better bet.
