| Penetration? | Result | Chance |
| Yes | Damaged Engine | 90% |
| Yes | Destroyed Engine | 5% |
| Yes | Immobilised | 3% |
| Yes | Main Gun Destroyed | 1% |
| No | Crew Shock | 100% |
Since the exact critical depends heavily on whether or not Ram penetrates, here's how Ram works against some common targets:
| Vehicle (Front/Rear) | Damaged Engine | Destroyed Engine | Immobilised | Main Gun Destroyed | Crew Shock |
| Panzer IV (180/90) | 80%/90% | 4.44%/5% | 2.67%/3% | 0.89%/1% | 11.11%/0% |
| Vet 2/OKW Panzer IV (234/(80/117)) | 61.54%/90% | 3.42%/5% | 2.05%/3% | 0.68%/1% | 31.62%/0% |
| Panther (320/110) | 45%/90% | 2.5%/5% | 1.5%/3% | 0.5%/1% | 50%/0% |
| King Tiger (375/225) | 38.4%/64% | 2.13%/3.56% | 1.28%/2.13% | 0.43%/0.71% | 57.33%/28.89% |
Please note that Ram always destroys the T-34's main gun, immobilises it and causes a temporary "engine overheat" critical if no vehicle is hit.
Currently Ram has a fair amount of RNG involved in its use and doesn't work well as either a last-resort or a support ability. I have a few ways to rework it:
The First Option:
- Ram no longer destroys the T-34's main gun, immobilises the T-34 or causes the "engine overheat" critical
- Ram now gives the T-34 Crew Shock
- Ram gives the target Crew shock on penetration and half-duration Crew Shock on deflection
I like this option because it makes Ram into more of a supportive ability. You're still possibly sacrificing a T-34 if your target has support but it's not a guaranteed loss and Ram isn't as all-or-nothing.
The Second Option:
- Ram no longer immobilises the T-34 or causes the "engine overheat" critical
- Ram now gives the T-34 Crew Shock
- Ram gives the target Crew shock on penetration and half-duration Crew Shock on deflection
This option ensures that Ram isn't used unless you can secure the kill with another unit but also ensures that the T-34 is unlikely to play a part after it has Rammed.
The Third Option:
- Ram no longer destroys the T-34's main gun or immobilises the T-34
- Ram now gives the T-34 Crew Shock
This option has the advantage of changing Ram the least while still providing substantial benefits over its current state.
Which change do you prefer?
