The turret living-dead

[DerBlitzer]

Losing a member of the tank crew typically Shocks the tank for a turn or two (sometimes even for the duration of the game). A shocked tank sometimes cannot move, sometimes cannot fire, or both. Once it becomes unshocked (i.e. the men inside wipe the gore off their eyes, determine their own wounds aren't too serious, and rearrange themselves) the tank's rate of fire probably decreases (not something you'd necessarily notice right away). And a tank that starts out with a crew of 2 (tankette, for example) probably isn't very useful after losing a guy.
