At least it isnt that 300mm pen nightmare monster

Seems fine to me. Put one shot into the turret, 2 or so in the front hull, then just open fire. I love going back to low BR matches and the LVT is quite fun to snipe. I usually dissable the gun, then the driver and man beside him, let the 2 in the rear move, then pluck them off. Usually works most of the time.

Agree,when sniping you cant miss it.But in urban battles it's a literal arse to deal with.Especially when theres more than 3.The most thing i can do is disable the turret and then take out the driver.and Then one of them just gets the rear gunner to replace the dead gunner and boom,im dead

So long as a shot gets in the turret, you should not only kill the gunner, but at least break the traverse ring and possible the breech. Any Soviet Tier I with a 45mm can do that job well. Best for the Germans in the Panzer II with HVAP as you can just spray and slaughter the crew. Anything for the British works but the Crusader Mk. II is the best option. Would help to know what nation you are playing as.

What would be fun is to get the LVT with the artillery gun.

It has paper thin armor so aim at several places to kill it...even in angled areas you can pen it easily

Right so they aren't overpowered because you only have to do like 5 things in perfect combination? They are by far the most difficult tank to deal with in that tier, anyone saying otherwise is full of it/showing off their peen

.50 cals are all you need to deal with that thing. Plus, the armor is way too thin to stop any half-decent round from getting through. Any large caliber HE (M8, Ho-Ro) will tear it to shreds.

Sure, it's a decent tank, and the ability to float allows some different tactics than before. Unfortunately, it's just too dang big. It's a free kill for any aircraft with cannons, the mobility isn't all that great (small track size compared with the large tank size), any player who know what they're doing will take it out in two or three shots. One if they're using that large-caliber HE.

If you're facing it from the front, here's what to do:
1. Shoot the turret with APHE/HE round.
2. Shoot the lower frontal plate to take out the driver/ transmission.
3. Flank it and spray the back gunners with your MG.

If you're facing it from the side, all you have to do is shoot the middle of the hull, slightly towards the driver's side. Then MG the back gunners.

The only redeeming thing that I see about this tank is that any APCR or APDS round is utterly useless against it, unless the person know's what they're doing real well with shot placement.

This. If you have a side shot and an MG you can always just hose down the MG gunners too.
