Glaring weak spot on the Arma 8x8.

I don't understand why such a modern design goes old skool Russia BTR-80 with a side door!

Unless you're willing to lose the door then any attempt to uparmor this beast is going to be for naught...and trust me, once these things hit the market every anti-armor grunt world wide is going to be waiting for the sweet spot---and quite a few are good enough to make hits there.

I really don't understand the thinking here.  Ideas?
