"CRITICAL HIT!!" glitch?

[Crazzy Razzy]

Whilst playing, I'll often hit an enemy at full health but he won't take any damage but my commander still yells stuff like

"CRITICAL HIT" and "PUNCHED RIGHT THROUGH THEIR ARMOUR!!!!"

Is this a glitch or am I missing something? How can it be a critical hit if he took no damage, it wasn't like I just damaged the track or anything

Critical hit usually means you damaged a module or a crew member. Doesn't necessarily mean you damaged the tank as a whole.

Elite911 And how can you damage a module without damage the tank itself ? Dont you think that a damaged module is a damaged tank ? wich also means in this case some lose of hitpoints. I think what Crazzy Razzy means is that a critical hit and penetration should remove some hitpoints from the HP bar.

Tank layouts are a bit strange. Your tank is divided into the actual tank body that can take damage, and modules in the tank. Modules don't contribute to the health of the tank, but they can be damaged, thus hurting your crew, causing fires, etc. A few tanks even have parts that can't take any damage what-so-ever, considered null areas that contain neither modules nor health.

So when you shoot a tank and pen its armor, you can either hit a module, or the main part of the tank that contains it's hitpoints. Hitting a module has a chance to damage it, based on a few factors, so when you hear "critical hit" etc that means you hit a module, and may, or may not damage it.

You can also damage multiple things at once. Such as shooting high explosive shells can damage things close to the impact area. You can also shoot tracks on some tanks and damage both the tracks, and the tank body behind the tracks. The shell will go through the tracks (having a chance to damage them) and then hitting the tank body behind the tracks. Like if you shoot a tank from the front you might not be able to hit the body through the tracks, but if you shoot from the side, you might. Just depends.

tracks are too module or gun itself
