The difference between the damage people try here to explain is the status of the hull. When your tank is penetrated you can either suffer a damage to a module like the gun for example if the shoot was a hit to the turret or the hull it self when you aimed for that part which will force the crew to bail out (this is shown by the module apearing as "red" in your sheme). You have as well the chance to cause a critical damage or even a catastrophic damage I mage here a difference because in a critical damage you can still exploit the tank for machineguns and some amunition for example. With a catastropic damage the tank usualy either completely burns out or even explodes (amunition, fuel etc.). With a critical hit the Hull for example would appear black which means its not just penetrated with a small hole but it techniclay completely "cracked".

Think about this as representation for a "critical damage"



Doesnt look like much that you could repair in here. Maybe exploit it for the one or other spare parts eventually. Those kind of Panthers might have been used later in fortifications with Bunkers (just the turret if it was still functional) or pushed in to a hole where the hull wasnt visible anymore as armored anti tank gun (like in Berlin)



I think overall the repair system in both Mow and As is adequate. Particularly since many times with the havy tanks you have a chance to fully repair them (how much of a chance for example would one expect to repair a sherman or Panzer IV once it was clearly hit by a 122mm shell ?)
