Critical Hit Challange

[Alucard #MANA]

Do one hit kills count as critical hits? That's all. Thank you for reading this.

[Jaes]

Yes

[whatdoesthisbuttondo?]

Exploding is pretty critical if you're the one doing it, no? :D

[Straven]

Critical hits usually simply means you scored a good damaging hit, like you took out certain components or injured/killed said tanks crews. I'd think any shot that manages to one shot a tank and its crew would easily be seen as a critical hit, after all you just gutted said tank for all intents and purposes.

Issue though with critical hits, you can land one but find yourself literally doing nothing to said tank so keep firing till that tank is indeed dead/burned/blown the **** up for darn certain or they'll likely get you instead.

I don't thinks so. I am pretty sure that only the critical hits registered in the after game statistics count as critical hits for the challenges, and if you look at statistics, direct kills are not counted as critical hits.

[Illusionyary]

I don't think they do, a "target destroyed" isn't a "critical hit".

Wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't count, obviously trying to not kill enemies is the type of gameplay they want to promote.

In fact it doesn't count. And I don't even have to change my style of play. This is the only advantage of using planes with poor machineguns like the italians or the japanese 12.7mm, they are so underpowered that I usually get always 10 hits and a critical before sending the enemy in aviators heaven.

Which is fine for planes as you get criticals even when trying to kill, but for tanks you can easily one shot and have to intentionally avoid it.

Play brits then lol. You don't have to intentionally avoid 1-hit kills, if you can't do it even intentionally.

it's actually hard not to OHK with lower tier brits
from 5.3-7.3 though it's fairly easy
anything 20-pdr and less in calibre that fires APDS does pinpoint damage. Normally you gotta snipe or go for ammo

i don't think that's really true anymore, AP was a meme but nowadays it's solid and not just because its solid shot.. ever since France was added, but probably easier to avoid intentional kills tho.

Eh, from my experience with the low-ranks it's nearly impossible to one-shot with UK unless you pop some ammo, which isn't guaranteed even when you directly hit the ammo.

low tier has always been that way
but once you get 6 pdr, CoM is usually a guaranteed kill

I'm not sure, but I do think it counts. I always change tasks until I get the critical hit one, and it always gets fulfilled with a few matches. I'll play some matches later and then I'll actually look at the numbers.

I had a match in my German 6.7 line-up. Total five kills, all were one-shots. My daily task advanced by 5 critical hits. The statistics at the end also counted all of the kills as crits.

I think it's save to say that kills do count as critical hits.
