Cromwell vs T-34

[The Red Doc]

How does one fight a T-34 while playing the poor british Cromwells ?
Before i can aim at a weak spot , he shoots blindly and either cripple me or one-shot , so ... yeah . TIPS ??

Fight T-34's like you would in any tank.

Simply, be the first one to get a shot off and hit his turret. That or use the Cromwells speed to get around. Would also be best to work with at least 1-2 others and try to seperate the T-34 from others.

A lone T-34 vs 2-3 British tanks that are working together will not last long. I can go back and play T-34's and I can do well, but the Brits ALWAYS knock my T-34's out. They take out my turret traverse first, then pick off the crew.

Yeah , the thing is that people don't usually work in groups ... AB or RB , i am playing mostly RB.
And i just said that before i can aim effectively to pierce the turret he shoots in a random place (anywhere really) and gets me in a point where i can't do shiz against him . Going around people doesn't work like a charm anyways , so that's off the list.
What the hell do you mean by "separate from the others" , if someone sees you and the others notice the tracer round , you are most likely deep fried in that situation.
And brits always knocking out your crew must have been a relatively rare thing , where as I in MY T-34 AM EATING ANYTHING THAT COMES CLOSE TO ME.

Other tips ?

I usualy aim for the turret cheeks,its knocks out loader and cannon breech or if i was a lucky even gunner and hide.Do it until its get destroyed.and dont forget you have a thin armor even pz iv with short barrel can penetrate you.

Switch to a T34 and as by magic all your problems will be solved.

one piece of advice as british (cromwell), dont let yourself be in the open infront of them. wait till their gun is distracted. this can work in about any situation as well

you dont have to hide if you hit his gunner. they will have to replace the gunner, which will take time. then start the reload process all the way over from square one. which will take more time. when you kill the gunner you have some leisure time. of course that also depends on your surroundings. like if you know some other tanks might take a shot at you then you may have no choice but to be quick either way. when you take out that gunner its an advantage you gain.

also aiming for turret ring is a good idea against that tank. The turret ring area is one of the weakneses and usually lets you take out most of the crew in one shot. another thing you should know. if you get disabled like that about everytime then you can rest assured that it is most likely that those are not just "anywhere random shots" I know from experience. I have taken aimed shots quickly before.

Let the hate flow through you Rockboje...
You are just mad that you don't know the anatomy of a tank :/ shooting where you can to pen it isn't always the best thing you can do . German 75mm actually have a nice HE filler and if it touches ur ammo you are DED.
Study the enemy tanks , shoot where you are supposed to , then tell me if it makes any difference :D
Quarren you are right , i should aim for the turret / turret ring but that is bouncy as hell , plus that those "random shots" aren't exaggerated ... i was serious :D
