There is no kneeling animation in Tribes 2, as you know. I think you can easily add the ANIMATION by linking in the approriate dsq files in the player.cs (or whatever the name of your file with anims is). You wil probably have to do a little creative coding/scripting to get the player to move in a crouch without reverting to the move anims.

There is no way that you can animate the size of the bounding box. This means that you cant change the size unless you change the datablock. If you cant change the size, then the player will be just as easy to hit when crouching, as he is while standing up.

I hope that helped. :)

yeah that helped some thanks... dang this bites though.. so we can efectivly make the player crouch wothout "changing" his armor on the fly and keeping it smooth is near imposible right?
