7.2 DR, actually, and the figures show how to average 1 crit on a
titan, not guarantee a hit. You've only got about a 2/3 chance of
getting a crit, with some yet-uncalculated chance of getting more than
one crit.... (Sorry, but if you're going to nitpick math, get it
right!)

You have better than even odds after 4 hits. (12 dice)

My mistake, oh well, that's what I get for trying to do math in my head.
