Default Re: Damage to tank fire control systems

Hi. Not to get into when the tank slides off a narrow raised road surface and spikes their main gun in the dirt, effectively killing said tank...or the poorly maintained recoil mechanism failing, resulting in a wrecked turret upon firing the first round (yes these things do happen)...

While the Army's criteria of kills may satisfy their requirements, realism suffers in that partial kills like suspension hits that degrade performance or the above mentioned FC/RF damage are either glossed over or become outright kills. Another feature (perhaps mercifully) not represented includes overrunning infantry with tracked vehicles. The designers had to draw a line on how much realism to add before it either impacted game play or overburdened the code. I feel they've done a good job at it.
