What is a Critical HIt?

[=7CAV=SPC.Henson.K]

I'm calling BS on this game now. I hit a M6 at point blank range and get a CH. The tank just backs up, reloads, shoot and blows me up with one shot. I was in a PzKw IVH. More anti-German bias or a seriously broken game? A CH on a vehicle should stun it, disabling it from conducting any actions for a set period of time.

All that means is that you hit something and damaged it severely or destroyed it.
*What* you hit determines the effect on the tank.

[Sketchy]

A critical hit just means you destroyed/knocked out something ranging from the tracks to gun to turret ring to the driver's view port. Some actually prevent the tank from doing something while others don't.

Its just like in planes, Critical Hits range from "meh" to "Down in a ball of flames".

Get a critical hit and set a plane on fire, awesome. Get a critical hit and Damage their left landing gear, woopty freakin doo....

if it was i believe an M6A1 heavy, since it's just"M6" in the description, it's possible he reloaded his second gun too and fired both, killing you without the kill replay indicating what since second shells don't show.(atleast for me)

This idiot thinks a pz4 can take a hit? Seriously? Its not "anti-German bias", its "the panzer 4 sucks at everything so grow up and get into a Tiger/Panther".

i would love a tigther...

I'm confused why this seems to be the 2nd-3rd thread you've made claiming anti-german bias. Play some other tanks. I realize that a lot of you guys come because you want to drive the german beasts, but hear me out here.

The more tanks people drive, the better players will get a feel for strengths & weaknesses, and makes for better players.

Critical hits mostly just signify destroyed modules. You might have critically hit a view port. I think I've done that a couple times.


If you really want to make an M6 driver have a bad day, go to the sides and plow your shells above the tracks and behind the turret. Armor is only something like 40mm thick, and you're shooting straight through a fuel tank, into the engine bay, and sometimes even into the engine block.

Seriously, read the post. Then pull your head out of your 4th point of contact.

I'll say this again for you, very slowly and try not to use big words. HIt tank, weak spot, no big bang. Game says, "Critical Hit". Bad guy tank drives away. I die. Game sucks. You suck.

lel bruh you jell, dawg


In all honesty. It's an M6 Heavy Tank for a reason.

You can critically damage a driver, the cannon breech, or the fricking fuel gauge. Get over it.

I had 3-4 critical hits on tank and they still dont die and can blow you away, doesnt mean squat really, probably some minor system taken out.
Engine and fuel tank hits usually wont do anything, most of the time they just keep driving like nothing happend, just yesterday I shot Tiger I into engine from behind with 114 penetration aphe (Stug III G) and shrapnel hit both fuel tanks also, it was still driving away and it took four hits into back of his turret to kill him since I couldnt flank him with Stug.

I did, you just suck tremendously at this game. How do you miss a weakspot on an M6A1?! Its nearly imossible the entire side is a weakspot!

Except that he wasn't saying that his tank can't take a hit - he was saying that he got a critical hit but the M6 was still functional enough to kill him and was wondering why the critical hit didn't seem to do anything.

Everyone else explained that critical hits are simply damaging any components, not necessarily ones that could keep the M6 from shooting back.

The thread wasn't asking about the durability of a Panzer IV, but just what critical hits represent.

The entire tank is one big weak spot. The turret face and much of its frontal armour are simply not thick enough to block much at that tier and the slightly angled flanks mean that angling your armour is not an option. Really a difficult tank to use, its only redeeming factor is the excellent cannon.

Reminds me of SPS-255 event... But yeah your amror can be penetrated with pretty much anything german gun factories have to throw at you.

critical hits mean nothing if you don't actually hit any crew or components hth

maybe he's expecting the words " Finish HIM! ...Fatality! " to splash across the screen .... ;)
