Well, maybe the 1 * of critical damage was turret ring like on Tiger 131 they got in Bovington

Volume of fire can often replace penetration, at least in driving enemy back, had a similar experience when trying out 45mm battalion guns (basically a test "what if I created another weapon with full HE range..." That's another story), stopping few Pz IIIs with a large volume of long-range 45mm HE. Stopped them for two turns and gave me time to move my precious 57mm guns to bear...
