That's what we assumed in the game, and seems to be what the rules
mean, however I'm leaning more towards it being counted as a kill.

Looks like we have dissension in the ranks, since CS Renegade
claims otherwise...

We played otherwise (used to FT I guess), though it makes sense that
the crew need to take time out to repair it. We did end up with a
tank driving around with the rest of the unit, waiting for its systems
to come online again.

Can't see an entry for them, unless you mean on p22. The reaction
tests on p23 split vehicles and infantry for all the tests except
for close assault, where it just lumps them together as 'units'.
This does seem to suggest both are treated the same.
