Why, when a tank, Stug, etc, sustains two frontal hits but when reversing gets killed when reversing ie from the attcking unit reaction shot? Morale had not reduced by much.

Lucky shot? More like something from the dark side!
Actually German doctrine did not advocate reversing......

That's pretty disturbing when it happens.
I find the "suppressed shot" kill even more disturbing though;
when you've surpressed the enemy tank and it fires that one last shot and takes you out as they run away.
lol... =(
