Everything used to do shit tones of crits iirc. Like every shot had a chance (and the stuka had lots of shots) which is obviously extreme. But I think controlled reintroduction could be alright as an alternative to balancing certain problematic units.


I don't remember exactly how it worked, but I do remember main gun crits used to save a tank from death i think?

Like a 160hp or less tank could survive a full shot just because of a dice roll. Basically the current abandon mechanic except you still had full control/speed

I'm fairly certain it had a chance at any time but it was almost guaranteed at death. I have memories of fresh tanks losing their guns on the first hit. Could be misremembering though, it's been a long time and I'm not as young as I once was...

At any rate I feel limited reintroduction of the temp cross could be nice

What if Critical random not on 25% hp left, but 5%?

As now a Pz4 shoot at 320hp T34 can cause a weapon damage.
Can be changed as a Pz4 shoot at 160hp T34 can make 2 things:
- Kills the T34
- Cause Engine damage (and a Crew injured for a few sec) and T34 still have 5% hp.

Its like the last shot can cause Out of Control or Ammo blow up random.

People didn't like "death crit" saves.

If a vehicle goes to 0 it should die/abandoned. Before you could get:

Shoot > Engine damage > shoot > main gun destroyed > shoot > engine destroyed > shoot > death.

Then account for misses and failures in penetration.

Death crits were bad business especially if they rolled time and time again for sure. My favorite was the Katy hit by the sturmtiger that got a broken gun. Gold.
