Tank weakpoints

[Victory]

I thought the tank weakpoints were updated, but it seems that the only update is that the 76 has become the most powerful tank on the field.

A tiger does not stand a chance facing a 76. Two shots on the tracks is enough to blow up the tiger. The 76 can even one-shot a tiger by hitting the inner topside of the tracks. Meanwhile it takes three shots anywhere on the 76 to destroy it.

I'm quite confused. What are the tank current weakspots?

doesn't take two shots to the tracks. the tiger and 76 are matched with damage but the 76 reloads two seconds faster and has a spot at the bottom that will always ricochet. the 76 can never one shot a tiger either. it takes two shots for a tiger to kill a 76 to the turret, rear, side and front. panther also takes two shots to kill the 76 from the side or rear.

Thank you for your reply. That link is really helpful. This link does prove that the 76 is the best tank on the battlefield by far. The Germans stand no chance against 1 competent 76 squad.

I get one shotted in both those tanks all the time face to face. I can't say for sure but I think the best place to one shot any tank facing you is on the turret ring. (the part where the turret connects to the hull)
Not an easy shot because if you miss it the rounds just bounce off. Which is probably why most people (including me) aim for the treads in a head on gun battle.

does not happen anymore

Not sure but hey you could be right. However just a day or two ago we were having heavy tank battles where everything bounced off and then bam dead in one shot. You can't do that by aiming at the tracks.

You must of bin satcheled then, crawling or crouching is impossible to hear in the tank and satchel's don't always play the fuze sound or show sparks from the fuze going down.

But the sound of exploding satchels is louder then my tank exploding from a tank/bazooka shot. You know what has killed you if you listen to the sound.

I do notice that more people have a bad feeling when it comes to tank battles. There are lots of inconsistencies. Even more than before the tank overhaul. But what i absolutely dislike is the empowerment of the 76. The 76 dominates the battlefield by far.

you don't hear the satchel explode when you're in a tank

Perhaps you are right, i sometimes jump out before the tank gets blown up. Then the explosion can be heard. However it is obvious that a tank blew you up if you see the shot midair flying towards you.

Hi,
Monoespecial is a great resource and it is not out of date as that video is from Update 10. It does not take 3 shots to destroy the 76 from a Tiger but you are correct that the 76 is overall a superior tank in tank on tank engagements.

2 track shots will not destroy a Tiger, it takes 2 body shots (front, side or rear hull) or 2 turret shots from a 76 or IS-1 to destroy a Tiger.

This is not good advice. Please review the tank bible (https://theline.gg/tankbible/) and Tankopedia (https://icilia95.wixsite.com/tankopedia) for current (Update 10) information.

Where to shoot is going to depend on what tank you are in and what tank you are facing, each tank has well documented spots you should shoot. Unless there are no other options in no circumstances should you be aiming for the tracks except in rare circumstances such as it being the only spot you can shoot, the tank being angled in such a way (Panther shooting a medium Sherman for instance) that you can't get reliable shots other places, you are going for an engine shot through the tracks, etc.

Tanking in U10 is a lot easier to understand and more consistent than U9 with the removal of bag shots on the 76, cupola shots on the Panther, etc.
