Critical hits are designed to be rare, though I might up it a bit. Currently the chance of a critical hit is 1/10th of 1%.

Indeed...
I am telling you, I have been playing RFB ever since I have SH4 and I have yet to see a critical hit. Maybe you have seen it during testing process, but from my experience of plying the campaign / single missions I haven't.
To what value are you planing to raise the percentage?
Probably the main reason for me asking this is reading Tang's war patrols:
Quote:
The escort of the lead ship, Yamashimo Maru, moved from its covering position on the port bow, and the submarine slipped into it and launched four torpedoes. The first hit the stern of the cargoman, the second struck just aft of the stack; and the third burst just forward of the bridge and produced a terrific secondary explosion. The ship was twisted, lifted from the water, and began belching flames as she sank.

The next day, after locating two freighters and two escorts, she launched three torpedoes at the larger freighter and two at the other. The larger freighter {"Roko Maru"} disintegrated apparently from a torpedo which exploded in her boilers.
