Hitting something with PT-boat rockets gives object damage. Isn't there a second way of doing this?

PT boat torp hits, I believe. And of course, rockets.

i have been hitting alot of buildings and strat with a tiger in the ct this week, hit % should be at 75% or so, score still says 0%. what is the deal with this, how is this scored???

You have to use vehicle ordinance to up your "vs objects" hit percent in a GV. Tank main guns do not count as ordinance. The only vehicle ord we have currently is PT boat rockets and torpedoes. If a GV like the Katyusha or Nebelwerfer were ever added, I'd guess its rockets would also count toward your vehicle "vs objects" category.

At least this is always how I've thought about it.

In my mind it makes perfect sense if you just think about it a second. If you blow something up with a bomber's bombs, it increases your bomber "vs objects" hit %. If you strafe a ground target with your bomber's guns, it does not. Likewise, if you strafe a ground target with your GV guns it does nothing for your "vs objects" hit %. You need to hit it with your GV equivalent of bombs (ordinance), which in this case are rockets or torpedoes.

I think of it as "vs objects" meaning "with ordinance", while "hit %" means "with guns". More to do with the type of weapon you're using than with the type of target you're hitting.
