VFW a bit OP

[Stormtrooper1909]

A tiger's 88 is unable to kill it without it spinning its gun around in time. I don't know where its ammo is, but whenever I shoot one I don't have time to even put another shot in without being holed twice because of a stock 5.5 second reload. The crew is far spaced out and the HE on the 88 doesn't penetrate it. Sure if you catch it off guard you can MG it but that's quite hard considering the fact that it will pummel you if you get caught. Sure the armour is thin but that is the problem its self, it's so thin that sometimes the fuse on APHEBC isn't detonating, anyone have any ideas on how to kill it? thanks

Destroy gun, charge position.

If long distance, attempt to flank. If unable to, attempt to destroy gun and kill driver.

Generally that's the strategy I employ in RB.

But in AB I guess it'd be best to go for gunner > driver > crew/ammo. I suppose searching for where the ammo is on the vehicle would be whilst you're at it...

Its a very annoying TD to kill. Its like that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ US Tank. The LVT(A)(1).

Gun breech the size of an M22, and the gunner side is the one with the view port, shoot the gunner first and you have a paperweight looking back at you.

Then you have to kill 6 crew before it gets its gunner back

That's good to know, maybe I have have enough time left in this event to at least get the VFW now that I know that I don't have to fly a plane to fix it.

https://imgur.com/a/ke20bLI aim for the gun shield first(kills all 3 crew and both the turret drives and damages the gun since the APHE can fuse on that spot) then the transmission with APHE to kill both driver and machinegunner, the second pic is the ammo racks(always aim for the rear one if visible).

No, it has 6 crew. 3 of which as in a line, starting with the gunner.
One shot to take them out, then you kill 2 more with a followup shot and you win.

Or, you know, some machinegun fire or arty.

Thanks alot guys, I'll look out for the little ♥♥♥♥♥♥ again and i'll take it down using the advice you awesome guys gave me. Now I'll kill the gunner first and if possible take down the ammo ;D

[Col. Cornbread]

it probably has a Bugged Damaged model like the Centuro had when it came out... hopefully they'll fix it before they bump up its br

> Ammo, as well as all important things you should be aiming for, are compactly fitted into the hull.
> Aced reload is 4,0 seconds.

For killing this, large caliber HE (105+mm) and lots of HMG's are really the way to go. if you must use AP, aim for the hull if you want a chance of doing any significant damage.

The VFW is basically the definition of a glass cannon, but doesn't have enough armor to let AP do anything meaningful to it unless it's a hull hit.

You should see two of them shooting at eachother, sight to behold.
