Critical Hit % applies only to critical areas of the target...?

It means that, if a torpedo causes a critical hit, it will cause catastrophic damage to the whole ship.

Or, as the (ahem) RFB manual (/ahem) states:

Quote:
Critical chance is a special setting for each compartment that represents the idea that a single torpedo hit may cause catastrophic damage resulting in the sinking of the ship. Critical chance represents a sort of "golden BB." It is possible to get a critical hit any time a compartment takes damage. Critical chance is an important characteristic of the ship damage mod since it represents the intangible factors that could cause a ship to suddenly sink such as coal dust or fuel vapors, an old, weak ship, a weak spot, etc. All cargo and machinery compartments have the potential for a critical hit, though the possibility is small.
