T-34 where to kill?

[rolypoly]

Can someone show visual guide where to shoot a t-34 to kill it? I shoot the weak spot hatch at the front of it, but even at point-blank range it just bounces.

[Foxtrot39]

Depend of the T-34, a t-34-85 is more armored on the hatch than anywhere else

[rolypoly]

I was BR 3, so I guess up to whatever is br 4.0 at most? Is there a spot that is common to all within that BR?

Turret ring/cheeks until you got somethig close to a 75mm gun

/\ Like Foxtrot said, which model and what are you using? Always go check it out on the armor view as well in the hanger. The hatch is a one of the thickest parts (as it was a part that could move, very visible, and protected the driver directly). But if it is any model with a 76.2mm or the 57mm gun (T-34 model 1940 - T-34-57) you usually want to go for the turret. Hit either side of it and you take out an important crew member (though you should go for the gunner first). If you take out both and reload fast, you can aim for the hull MG and kill him, meaning 3/4 crew are dead, and you kill it.

You're just aiming at the most meaty part of the tank, try the turret ring.

Sides/back are the best places. Shooting the side below the turret kills most of the crew, the back sets him on fire.

We met at a corner, and he so he immediately started to face-hug. I was in Matilda MK II, there was no time to shoot out his tracks, so I need to know where to shoot frontally.

I will try turret next time, but it's rounded, I didn't think there is any point trying to shoot it. I thought shoot the hatch because that's where you shoot a T-50 to kill it.

Like I said, the turret. It's only 45mm thick in the cheeks of the 1940, 1941, and 57mm models. The 1942 will need a bit better aim as it is more rounded and 53mm thick. The hull is 45mm thick while the drivers hatch is much thicker at 75mm (both angled at a 60 degree slope, making your 40mm useless). I would avoid it all all costs in a Matilda though. Your armor is quite thin against a 76.2mm gun and you are slow with quite a weak gun. You would actually have a better chance of penetrating a T-34 with the 57mm of the Crusader Mk. III.

Shoot under the turret if head on or just flank it if u can. T34s are hard to kill but not impossible;)

Best solution? Use a Cromwell V instead.

It's only 0.3 higher BR and eats T34 like candy.

If you can maneuver to the side, you'll likely get at least a high damage shot that disables him, but is often kill shot, or aim for the cheeks on front side of turret.

Look at the x-ray view to learn where the ammo racks are and thinnest armor, then aim there.
Don't just use armor piercing rounds, you want APHE or else you'll just go through the tank with little damage unless you hit a key component.

[kiro the avenger!]

aiming for the gun breach is also a pretty good idea on earlier models, you'll at least disable the gun

Do the same using something close to the 50mm guns because that's what the OP has to do
