Looking for a clear explanation...

What I still don't have a good grasp of is kill. Is that roughly the weapons ability to take out whatever it shoots at? But, certainly that definition would vary greatly depending on what you were shooting and what you were shoot at. An MG will certainly "kill" an infantryman, but it won't "kill" at Tiger. Can you guys try and dumb it down a little more (maybe that's not possible)?

Hi Nick,

Don't worry about warhead size. It's hardly useful, and for you it's more of a distraction than anything.

Let's talk about PEN and KILL

In SP you have two types of targets:

1. Soft
Infantry
Trucks
ATk/arty guns
Most aircraft
Some Half Tracks

2. Armoured
Tanks
Armoured cars
Most Half Tracks
Some aircraft

A weapon's ACC (accuracy) helps determine if you will hit the target.

If you hit an armoured target, your weapon's PEN is what matters next. Because PEN determines if the armour is penetrated, and therefore if the vehicle is damaged or KO.

If you hit a soft target, your weapon's KILL is what matters next. Because KILL determines how much damage is done to the soft target, and therefore if the target is KO.
