Subject: Shooting over combat?

Sorry I know this is kind of a foolish question but considering the basic common sense I thought I would ask.
Can you shoot over CC, to hit a MC or Vehicle that is not involved in said combat?
If the answer is no could a vehicel get hull down if los is mostly blocked by CC?

Yes you can shoot over a close combat if it involves size 2 or smaller models, AND you are drawing LOS to a model that is a larger size category that the tallest model in the combat. ANY model size 3 or greater makes the whole combat size 3, and it becomes impossible to see over any part of it. In ANY situation, if at least 50% of a vehicle has LOS blocked to it, then it can take the obscurement roll.

I thought that the rule was worded a bit more clearly, something like (please forgive me, I'm at work without BGB) "a model may draw LOS over a close combat if either the shooting model or the target model is a size category larger than the size of the largest model in the close combat".
And I concur on the hull down for vehicles.

Yes, my bad. Either the shooter or the shootee must be larger than the tallest model in the combat.

As dictated on page 69 the vehicle must be obscured by intervening terrain, vehicles, artillery models, wrecks or Monstrous Creatures (i.e. 'large targets') to be obscured.
Intervening close combats not involving any of these models would certainly not provide obscurement rolls to vehicles behind.
