Should be an option to put it down or close it

I’ve wanted to complain about this vehicle for a long time. When it was first released for sale, the front armor of the driver’s compartment was completely open, and I could never figure out DF’s design logic. Back then, its protection was no better than a regular truck; a single rifle grenade fired into the unshielded driver’s compartment would wipe out the entire crew instantly.
It took roughly a year for the devs to add front armor, yet they left the sides completely unprotected. This update choice is extremely confusing. The open-top M13 anti-aircraft vehicle has fully enclosed side armor, so why must this Soviet vehicle have its sides exposed with no shielding at all?
To this day, I’m forced to equip two sandbags just to clumsily block the exposed sides, hiding the weak spot where enemies can shoot the driver through the side with machine guns. This design is incredibly ridiculous.
I hope the devs add an operable toggle function for this compartment armor: players can hold the Ctrl key to open or close the armor panels freely. Keep the panels open normally for the driver to maintain good vision, and close them under enemy fire to shield the crew.
