        I still don't see what's wrong with the current critical
tables, for the most part. I understand the part about wanting to
randomize left/right hits, but what is wrong with the average critical
hit doing a few (2-4) extra points of damage, or destroying fragile
units like Super Heavy Tanks? On a rare occasion, you'll get lucky
and only take minor damage, and if you're unlucky, you'll blow up.

        I feel that having the average critical hit be a "glancing
hit" is against the feel of critical hits.
