Vulnerable location message

[Nikademus]

kind of confused over this new feature. It pops up at least several times with each scenerio i play, yet i've never seen it actually "do" anything.

Could someone clarify for me?

killed a matilda with 3 pz3s thanks to a vulnerable location. hit another matilda several times with pz2s, one getting no effect on vulnerable location hit. he he ... all seems to be working!

nice game

When it pops up it means that the armor base value is halved before applying slope effects - you hit a hatch or vision slit or flaw in the armor, etc. Its not filtered by weapon type so you can see it with rifle fire sometimes - MGs can sometimes kill light armor when it happens.

Vulnerable location hits reduce armour by 50%.

ah! thanks for the clarification. what was confusing me too, was that the sound effect tied to it is the same that registers a "penetration" so i figured something had happened when it did'nt

Guess i've been lucky to have all my experiences be against rifle fire!
