Main gun crits should be removed?

RNG makes fun.
No variable means that it's predictable, which means it's boring.
Baseball will be boring if the best pitcher always strikes out.

Not really. You chase with a PIV at half health a T3476 with 1/4 of health. T76 fires and gets main gun destroy, PIV can't chase no longer and possible dies.

The problem is that suddenly tanks no longer have 640 HP rather than 480HP.

I wouldn't mind soft critical such as turret jam/lock, driver/gunner damage, etc. Main gun destroy is too binary on it's effect.

If we were to keep main gun crits, I would re-implement them to a death crit, something like this:


5% chance if damage would destroy a tank, instead apply immobilization and main gun destroyed. These effects are reversed only once the tank is restored to 100% health.



In this implementation, there is a slight drawback to the attacker as a hit that would otherwise have destroyed a vehicle instead incapacitates it. HOWEVER, the combined aspect of main gun destroyed AND immobilization coupled with requiring full repairs to function again helps offset this. Think of it like a chance to proc T-34 ram debuff if your tank would otherwise die.

Oh and crew abandon should just be removed entirely, while main gun crits are currently very punishing, crew abandon can be game breaking.

So basically a crew abandon that can't be recrewed by your opponent, but sucks up pop cap until you fully repair it, or destroy it yourself?
