russian 76mm (MD-8 shell) can go through the roof of the churchill 7, swedish 40mm SAPHE can one shot kill pattons through the cupola and late russian heavies through the lower side, any gun with 120mm+ penetration can insta break the breach of the is-2 by shooting above the barrel (easier than cupola or barrel shot and good for tanks without APHE), russian 14.5mm can go through the side of shermans and jumbos, american 76mm and any similar caliber with enough pen can kill a tiger 1 through the gunner optics, pershings can be killed by most APHE by shooting the driver or machinegunner hatches, 88mm pzgr 39 and the panther can go through the jumbos turret at 500m, kv-1s can be killed by any APHE with 50mm+ pen by shooting the machine gun from a 45 degree angle ,any sufficiently large HE shell can overpressure most vehicles by shooting the lower part of the tracks (150mm+ vs is-2, fv4005 vs maus, and a lot of smaller calibers vs lighter targets), and probably a few more i cant remember

The jumbo has another weak spot. If its is full front on as it should be, you can bounce a shell off the tracks and into the hull if you have the proper angle. Found this out in protection analysis and then tested in a custom with friends to see if it worked and it does. Feel like it's a very unknown place to shoot one so try it out in game and see what kind of toxic reactions you get. Also you can go for the cupola too

KVs and IS tanks (at least until the IS2 1944) have a relatively weak LFP, so most guns can comfortably go through it, and it usually lights up the fuel or kills all the crew. Additionally, the turret cheeks are usually penable.

I can’t thank you enough for making this. I’m a very new player who wanted to play tanks but couldn’t get back into WOT and wanted to move to WT. But sadly wot taught me some nasty habits. Such as “just press 2” when encountering a heavily armored opponent, or stay moving to avoid artillery. Going for the gun is something I never would really consider either so it’s a learning process. I’ve managed to get the Soviets to 6.3 and the Germans to 5.7 and now the Americans to 5.3. So far the Americans seem to be the best teaching line as it seems to require weak spot knowledge as well as map knowledge for flanking shots. I still suck at range and tend to not get very many kills most games but guides like yours are really helping me out here so thanks again for taking the time to make it.

if you have a shell with a high amount of HE filler (preferably 70g or more) you can also go for the lower front plate of the hetzer, aim a bit upwards to hopefully avoid most of the transmission and the APHE will do the rest

Best weak spot on a jumbo or Sherman tank or any of the M4 line is the tank itself. At any distance at any angle. With any gun. Out of rounds or bullets? Use a pistol. Out of pistols? Just fart in the tanks general direction. It'll take out the entire crew instantly. Experience has shown me this.

For IS-1 IS-2 and soviet heavies around BR 4.0 to 6.7, the lower front plate is a good area to go for a quick shot, given you have a decent cannon for the BR. For the churchill/black prince in general, if you have a low caliber cannon(can't pen it anywhere), and happens to be on it's side, the two boxes on each side basically has no armor and shooting that part will take out the engine. The French ARL-44 has extremely weak roof armor frontally. Hope this helps.

For the Jumbo, it has a bit of a shot-trap under the mantlet, so if the MG-port is bushed-up you can try aiming there -- though you need a tall-ish tank, like Tiger sized, to hit it. Also works for T34, which can be a pain in the ass to fight headon.

I did not know about the hetzer weak spot; very cool. The Jumbo has a weird weak spot in the frontal armour that I don't think is common knowledge. The roof armour can be penetrated where it slightly dips up, and if APHE is used, your entire crew can die. I only know about this because I have been killed once by someone doing it to me. You have to aim for the turret ring. I will post a shot on my channel when I get the time.

@challenger2megatron
7 ай бұрын
The IS-4M really depends on the shell you're using. If you load 105mm APDS the lower front plate is a weak spot at least most of the time With 105 HEAT 90% of the time you can just shoot upper front plate and one or two shot it. The gun mantlet can also be penned with a shell of this type but it is unreliable because volumetric exists. Early APFSDS is similar to APDS tbh in terms of weak points If you are using a tank that has anything less than a 105mm gun I'm afraid you're royally screwed- unless you can commit track and barrel torture and get the lower side beneath the side skirts. The big mistake is to shoot the turret side. For the love of god please don't shoot there, it has way more armour than you think. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. :)

There is a very tricky and precise spot where the drivers hatch is. Where the drivers hatch is at you can shoot at the very top where both top and bottom parts of the hatch clip together. I have had king tigers pierce through there and have tried it myself, but it is still very precise and some people might not agree with this method. Still works tho if your using anything like the king tiger or stronger if it's just a standard AP round

Great video, lotta good tips. What do you do for tanks that are like 500m+? Cause you can shoot the barrel sure, but driving up to it's side afterwards isn't always an option especially when they have teammates covering them. Do you just disengage at that point?
@Daddyofdelights
7 ай бұрын
Yes, weakspots in this video is pretty much useless for 80% of the time. Fighting at that close range is rare. And usually tanks also have teammates. Barrel and tracking is also not considered a "weakspot" since you can kill modern mbts with that tactic. The problem is they wont let you shoot first. If in this video tanks could actually shoot back, this guy would be dead in almost every engagement. These tips might work in theory but they dont work in real fights except few ones. For example, if you are facing king tiger with 76mm you will most likely die. Avoid tortoise as well unless you have gun with 200mm pen+. Same goes for t95 those cupolas are hard to hit and fuse rarely detonates.
