Post The Tank You Can't Kill and I Will Tell You How To Kill It.
I am sick of seeing countless posts about Russian bias or people saying any other tank is unkillable. So I will try my best to help those of you that are struggling.

Post up the exact tank you are using and the tank name you are fighting. This will be an exacting thread so I will not entertain posts like "every Russian tank".

I am also trash at flying; so you flyboys sorry but I cant help you. Naval is also out of my expertise as that game mode is a mess and a half. So please keep posts to ground vehicles only. Also know that when I say tank I am speaking incorrectly about all ground vehicles. I know this and do not care.

Mk3b:
There is a weakspot on the left side of the turret (as you look at it)

In the front on the right (as you look at it) you can take out hte driver and loader but it is not as good a shot as the turret shot mentioned.

The best kill shot is on the side though and is shown in this screenshot:
https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197984015006/screenshot/2014846607483425607/

When trying to line it up use the big rectangular panel on the turret to line up the kill shot and just aim below that on the hull. This will take out crew and ammo giving you the kill.

If shooting from the other side of the tank just aim below the machine gun on the lower hull.

The mk3c has the same weakness and for both the 3BM42 is the ammo you want to use.

You're welcome ))

If you manage to park on top of him, you can also shoot the hatches with M63 ))

Pretty much but for some reason people do not use it. Instead they come onto the forums and cry that the game is broken. They often use the wrong ammo or do not consider angle of the tank they are fighting at all instead they think you can shoot any tank with any ammo and it will kill regardless of range or angle.

I'm not joking bro, I've been messing around a lot lately and use 💩 tanks and tryna kill enemy tanks that it is by right, incapable of killing frontally, so after a long time of trying sometimes it works

You have very little chance to pen an IS4M with an M22. There are always flukes where sometimes you get a shot through and get a kill but that is not generally possible with the M22 aside from flukes (especially from the front).

This would also not be a typical thing someone should ever get mad at when they fail to pen under those circumstances.

This is a very legit concern. On some maps this is worse than others but generally speaking you need to flank.

I am horrible at map names but there is one map particularly that comes to mind that everyone just hulls down over hills. On the one side of the map there is a riverbed with high banks and few people pay attention to it so if you go low and slow in a situation like that you can get around to the side of that entire team and make their hull down void.

Timing advancements when enemies have shot already to get past riskier areas and taking your time instead of rushing out in the open can help you overcome this.

You can also move in packs so that if one of you die the rest still have a chance to gt to cover.

Any HEAT-FS (particularly 125mm HEATFS and 120mm HEATFS) vs PUMA head on. Hoping for a one shot opportunity. Same with HEATFS vs any merkava straight from the front.
