How to deal with pesky T-34's

[Goose]

So I play mainly in Pz III series tanks Also use a IV F2 from time to time. But in almost every game I play I come up against T-34's and the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ 50mm cannon on a Pz III cannot ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pen it. I dunno if Im just unlucky, but no matter where I hit front, sides sometimes the back if I can flank em they just seem to laugh everytime a round is fired at them. Pretty much all Tier 1's and 2 tanks cannot pierce due to the insane richocets it does.

Almost 90% of shots I get on T-34's either dont pen or just richochet and its pissing me off.

Does anyone have a tip for taking them out HEAD on or atleast deal alot of damage because they are literally a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ plague.

Pz4 f2 can kill t34 easily just don't shoot the driver hatch and shoot the cheek of t34 with ap or front armor if you use pz4 f2 the APCR is broken now will bounce very hard =-= so just stick to ap.

I rarely use the Pz IV F2 but I will try this out. I was more concered with Pz III model tanks due to their cannons being piss weak.

Turret cheeks from the front. But the idea with T-34's is to kill them from the side. And shoot at the turret, it's sloped armour on all 4 sides of the hull.

Early T-34s: turret cheek > lower hull > upper hull (100% bounce)
Late T-34s: lower hull > upper hull > turret

I shoot the cheeks but that does honestly ♥♥♥♥ all damage

shoot the cheeks (directly not on edge), driver hach is black hole for youre shells and if you have side shoot first on engine and then in turet side you have good reload so if he caches fire you can shoot side of turet then wait till hes guner is back and shoot again

they have no gun mantle and like they say TURRET or the ass whichever is your preference

Early T-34s machine gunner window, turret ring. Cheeks usually wont do much.
Later T-34-85s the turret ring and machine gunner window are lot more bouncy so turret cheeks is usually best option.

So pretty much make the best of a bad situation. Thankyou guys for ya help :D

Last time I checked, T-34-85s get a thicker turret but same hull as the early ones so they can't get any bouncier than the early ones, and relatively weak for high tier guns to penetrate. On the other hand, that sloped hull is very strong for early tiers that's why one needs to aim at the turret.

Logic has no place in this game.
They may have same hull but machine gunner window has different design and unlike the early T-34s their turret ring is made from stalinium and full of tiny springs that bounce your rounds like crazy. Sekrit dokiments.
It's sometimes bloody ridiculous how much T-34-85 can bounce compared to early T-34.

well a pak 128 can bounce of the front 45mm plate easier than the IS-2 can eat it didnt you know? cant claim RU bias as they are bias to random damn tanks within their own tree
