The_Chieftain: Knocked out is knocked out. Be it by glorious explosion or
causing the crew to run away, it is no longer contributing the the
fight, which is good enough. People focus too much on AP vs
Armor values, and ignore everything else that can happen. In Italy,
one Tiger crew was found to have expired from concussion, from all
the HE. When the US forces met Tigers at El Guettar, even the tank
destroyers had 75mm guns of, supposedly, dubious capability against
the thickly skinned tanks. Yet, at the end, a number of Tigers were
removed from the German inventory.
