Body[]
The Kupe's body can withstand up to 125 points of damage.[CfgVh 10][Formula 1] It takes 150% increased damage from high-explosive (HE) type munitions.[CfgVh 11] At least 60% of incoming damage will be shared with the vehicle's main "health" pool.

Sensors[]
The Kupe is not equipped with sensors that can be used for the purposes of targeting.
FFV[]
All passengers have the ability to roll down their windows and fire weapons out of the vehicle.[CfgVh 1][CfgVh 2][CfgVh 3] However, it is not possible for the passengers to point their weapons out of the vehicle unless their windows have been rolled down (FFV is disabled so long each window remains rolled up).[CfgVh 35][CfgVh 36][CfgVh 37]
Defensive sensors[]
The Kupe does not have any sort of defensive sensors installed. The driver will not be warned if a guided weapon system is attempting to acquire a lock onto the vehicle.[CfgVh 38] They will also not be alerted if a guided projectile has successfully locked onto the Kupe and is inbound towards it.[CfgVh 39]
AI[]
NOTE: The following information only applies to the AI.
Camouflage rating[]
- Main article: AI Basics: Detection
The Kupe has a camouflage[8] rating of 2.[CfgVh 40]
Cost[]
- Main article: AI Basics: Targeting priority
The Kupe has a cost[9] value of 10000.[CfgVh 41]
Threat values[]
- Main article: AI Basics: Targeting priority
The Kupe is considered to be a medium-risk threat[10] to AI-controlled infantry units (0.6).[CfgVh 42]
AI-controlled ground vehicles also consider the Kupe to be as a (albeit lower priority) medium-risk threat (0.4), though aircraft only see it as a low-risk threat (0.1).[CfgVh 42]
Noise factor[]
- Main article: AI Basics: Detection
The Kupe has an audible[11] factor of 5.[CfgVh 43]
Trivia[]
- The in-game Kupe appears to be modelled after Volvo Car AB's "Amazon" series of family cars, but its handling specs are based on Peugeot's "403" sedan.[12]
- At the DLC's launch, the Boheme Kupe was only featured as a non-driveable prop that could be placed in the editor. Update 1.1 eventually turned the Boheme Kupe into a fully operable vehicle as opposed to being a static prop.[13]
- Prior to Update 1.3, the Viet Cong were the only REDFOR users of the Kupe. The patch subsequently added the Khmer Rouge as the second REDFOR faction to have access to the Kupe.[14]
