How do you kill the arl-44

[Pec]

Frontally it seems to be straight up un kill able to most with even a penetrating hit only turning crew yellow.

Lets say i have about 100mm of solid shot

How do you deal with that thing as you cant even destroy the gun

Depends on what gun you’re trying to kill it with.

The easiest answer is always flank anything you can’t kill frontally. Or bomb it. Cant say I’m entirely familiar with it to offer anything specific though.

I mean what are you using?

Pretty sure with any Panther it's just turret cheek shot.

Or yeah bring in CAS if one is dominating your team from a powerful position.

The 3.7 variant has a relatively weak upper front plate which you can penetrate with most guns with over 100mm of penetration, try aiming near the top middle so you don't get any volumetric issues. The 5.3 variant has a very strong UFP so you're best off shooting the turret.

Based on username, profile picture, and "solid shot", I'm going to guess something British, and something 2.7/3.0, fighting against a 3.7 ARL?

So like a 2pdr/6pdr on a Crusader?


If you --have-- to shoot at the front of it, your best bet is trying to hit the gun mantlet square (Immediately to the left/right of the gun barrel), or trying to sink one through the frontal hull plate as Lucky Star said.

Preferably, if you're in a smaller and more maneuverable tank, try to avoid the head-on confrontation to begin with (flank around the sides of the map/set up an ambush).

If you're shooting at the 5.3 version and have less than 100mm of penetration, your options become significantly worse. (A) Bust the barrel off, flank and kill from the side, (B) chance a shot right down the side of the barrel, where the mantlet is only ~70mm thick. Pray that the shot disables the breech and a few crewmembers.

If you have ~120mm of penetration or more, shoot the left (When ARL is facing you) turret cheek to take out the gunner/commander.

Cheek shots or from the sides/rear generally. Nothing but the big guns will go through the hull
