Isn't it only Eldar Titans that take auto crits?

Correct.

>Right??
Sorry? If the tank takes enough damage to be destroyed, roll on the
Catastrophic Damage Table with 1d6. The tank is automatically killed,
but if you roll 'Destroyed' rather than 'Wrecked', your opponent gets
additional morale. The differenct levels do different amounts of damage
to surrounding troops, too. Damage which renders the War Engine
inoperable could be the power plant being blown off and the tank hitting
the ground, or a rupture of the space/time continuum, killing all within
miles.
