How do you even pen things in Turm III ? 8.3 is a joke

[MeshPotatoes]

I dont have good rounds, I have no armor, my secondary does no damage? I die to IS-6 too much but cannot pen? Do I need to buy new rounds or something?

[xCrossFaith]

If you are having such issues with one of the most powerful vehicles you are in for a treat my friend...

Ok joking aside, which of the rounds are you using? Also while the Turm III is super powerful you may have some trouble facing more armored vehicles frontally, you have to try to flank in that thing

[Rigor Mortis]

treat it as a light tank killer avoid medium stuff

If somebody else can do it, then you can as well. But not with complaining, training is required.

The Turm III has more than enough firepower to slice through most things it faces. Both your APDS and HEAT-FS shells should have 0 issues going through the IS-6's armament or anything else's conventional armor and your secondary gun can be usefull for facing lightly armored IFVs or for destroying tracks. Also the turm II is still a Leopard, the least armored MBT of the "105 era".

It's one of the best tanks at its br but hey, money can't buy skill

[Mephisto]

typical turm 3 player ... dead within the first 3 mins of a battle ...

ok. - I give you 3 hints:
a) speed
b) fastest reloading 105
c) most powerful coax of any tank, that is equal to the main gun of many ifv

now you should use your brain for 3 secs to solve the riddle

That's true, YOU can't pen it. Others can.

You are not meant to fight heavy tanks. If you really must then try to pen from the side but you should not be engaging an IS6 You should be engaging medium tanks and light tanks from the side as you flank them.

How do I flank if there's always uptiers against faster vehicles? Your solutions are dumb if you never played tanks before

[Chris_Kone]

hit the underpan and 90% of you enemys are destroyed

[Lizzzard]

Just cry more, it helps

ok now it's just trolling. you can pen a T55 AM-1 with DM12 and DM13 easy up to 1000m in the usual spots. if you just shoot the front plate, well, then you shouldn't play at that br.

next troll post? - if you know that there are faster vehicles in the battle, position yourself accordingly. and if it's fast it usually has no armor ...

Okay this is a weird comment thread but alright lets try to get some solutions out there, first things first, your tank's ammo, bring half of it's full ammo capacity, the Turm is a match box and bringing 20 rounds that you will never have the oppertunity to fire is just going to make killing you easier.

Second, bring 8 HEATFS rounds and the rest should be APDS, use APDS on enemy MBT's and enemies hiding behind cover like walls or cars as these obstructions will cause HEAT rounds to explode early and do little to no damage to the enemy vehicle. When you find something like a M103, IS-6, T-10 or other super heavies, load a heat round as they will easily pass through the armor, 2 or 3 shots should do the trick if you fail to hit their ammo, if you do get an ammo rack then that is 1 or 2 extra heat rounds for you to use later. Also use heat rounds on vehicles at very long ranges as heat rounds don't have any penetration drop off for hitting targets at long range and if you see an open top or light vehicle at medium range you may use heat to deal extra damage compared to your APDS but that is entirely based on your preference.

Third, in an uptier against faster vehicles, use the main gun only if that light tank is far away, if they are close by, hose them down with the auto cannon that you have, it will pen most of them from the front and all of them from the side or rear and it's rate of fire means you can easily overwhelm the enemy whereas they might win a main gun battle with you, also bare in mind that light tanks such as the Centuro's and Rooikats have lots of empty space inside which means your rounds can pass through and hit nothing and then pass out the other side of the tank.

no you can't pen a T55AM with DM12 and DM13, don't lie to him. The "usual spots" are protected by applique composite armor.

The the turret face around the breach is very easily penned by either, as is the LFP. Which is a good habit to learn for fighting Russian MBTs from here on out.
