The turret ring shot is also pretty lethal IMO, at all angles is weaker than the turret

@@mcsurb695 Side hull is litterally just the side of the tank. If an enemy pressed W on their keyboard it would look as if they're going straight to the left or right. This is a good, super easy shot for any tank where you can hit just about any crew member or module you would want to. The mantlet is the armor immediately surrounding barrel. This can be very well armored but most of the time you can still knock out the gun breech or the gunner and chip away at the rest of the crew.

A bonus for mantlet shots is that they are almost never angled if the enemy is looking at you.

One time I was in M19 and attacked a Tiger 2. I couldn't pen it so I was just driving around it in 10 meters and shoting. But then I remembered the weakspot on the back of the turret just when the Tiger turned its turret away from me. 3 to 5 shots and got a kill

Thanks for this video. I swear I'll shoot someone 10 times without them dying and they'll 1 shot me. Maybe I'll be better now.
It would be nice if my tank rounds were not bouncing off a hinge on latch on a panzer and getting my 228mm of pen absorbed. Same goes for the sights that they have. It just eats spalling.

Use light tank and make a circle around the enemy then ambush them from behind. Make sure u stay on their backside. There will be softer targets like artillery, AA and tankdestroyers with less armor. Going head on against superior tanks is always suicide. Thats how I climbed to rank 2. Rank 3 gets harder to pull it of because they know what they do. But in mountaines areas with alot of cover u can sneak aswell.
Shoot anywhere where it’s flat, machine gun, commander copula, or if you can’t find any (like for example an IS-6) you can always get the barrel, the tracks and kill it from the side
I’ve heard somewhere that weak spots occur more often in between the forward first and second third of the tank. For example, if you were to split the tank into three thirds no matter the angle of the tank, you should shoot about where the intersection of the forward most and the middle section of the tank is. As another example, if a tank is perpendicular to where you are aiming, you should try to shoot at the intersection of the first and second third of the tank but if it is at a roughly 40 degree angle, you should shoot above where the front of the track is as that would be roughly in between the first and second third of the tank.

I wanna add that machinegun may not penetrate alot of hull but it can do massive damage. U can use it to wreck tracks and supress a enemy.

Nice vid. Watching it when playing WT.
Volumetric shells may have messed with the turret ring shots but Mr. Abrams still does not like them at all
I usually aim for the lower front armor on soviet tanks, it usually one shots the tank. But if the front of the tank isnt an option i usually go for center of mass. I wanna add that im still new to the game and I currently play 5.7 german, so im not the most skilled player.
Niceee I subbed
Tankenstein: Use HE Be me, British: *Cries*
I've played this game since 2015...why am I watching this?
For the longest time I thought the driver/mg port was the only weakspot and any shot anywhere else that killed was a fluke. Unless I'm driving that vehicle, then it dies to a burst of 7.62 anywhere.
Great vid ! Also, for my fellow tankers fighting the Americans etc. the gunner sits on the *left* of the barrel so if/when you take a turret shot shoot to the left.

So it looks like AP-HE is your best bet 90% of the time IF you can manage to accurately hit the tiny ports right? I'm in 2.7-3.0 tier and have been struggling where I'll land 4-5 penetrating shots on someone, then get one shot. No clue how to counter this.
i shoot betwen the body and the rotating thingy that has the big gun... it works!!
You show the panther so much but you never introduced shot traps.
Turret bulge some times stores ammo so if you can pen it's an easy kill
Shoot the russian T series? Of tanks on the lower plate next to driver to explode fuel and get armour
How did you make your skin??!!?! Im having technical difficulties
Shoot the tracks to stop it shoot the gun next then destroy the tank at close range
Gonna drop the game soon ngl it was fun at the start now having to do math just for the shot to bounce off somehow at blank range then get one shooted by a tank 200 yards away using the base ammo after i shot at the same spot he killed me with the same ammo and it just does nothing then i get one shoothed, very fun

In fact Russian WW2 tanks were crap slapped together by untrained peasants. Some plates had 2 inch gaps with pieces of scrap welded between. The drivers needed a big hammer to beat the shifter to go 2 to 3rd 4th was just not useable. The Sherman is a much better tank than this game portrays. The T34 STILL has it's own propaganda dept. in Russia to feed the myth.
Doesn’t work at all they just richochet or say hit and does nothing
Shot a tank in the ass with a is 2. Non penetration. Shoot them in the side, turret. Doesn't matter non penetration. This game is bs
Bruh...obviously shooting them in the side will mess them up. Really?
For whatever reason, I can never kill a KV1 Tank with a M4, M24 and M4A1. I can kill a KV1 with a M10 but never with any of the other tanks. On the other hand, I seem to be able to be killed by anything on wheels. Come on people, this shit is manipulated as manipulated can be.

Nearly every single battle for me has had the same results apart from the rare good game i have. I get 1 shot by literally anything, even tanks worse than mine. This is how i die 98% of the time. 1 shot. No matter where i get hit. Ive literally got hit in the front wheel of the track on an angle that would send the shell through the wheel and into the ground. instaed instant death. BUT It usually always takes me many many many hits to kill, with the occasion lucky 1 shot. I know all about weak spots and shot placement but they dont seem to play a part in my gameplay or make any difference. im 1 shot in all angles on all parts of the tank no matter what.
