War Thunder Weak Spots Guide: Dominate All 6.7 BR Vehicles

[@adampoultney8737]

Their weak spot is fighting tanks from decades after them

So what? Those tanks sacrifice so many things just to be able to pen these heavies.

[@adampoultney8737]

@@notafrog2040 it's just not enjoyable to play a tank that's made so many sacrifices to be heavily armoured only for some time travelling RAT to pen it with HEATFS and other innovations that it was never meant to face!

[@_cyantist]

every single tank from every single br can be penetrated by something. do you want to play an invincible tank? its not going to happen

[@zippytrippy3041]

A less known weakspot of pershings (Except for super pershing) are the corners of their lower glacis (left and right)

[@u45uify]

works on the T34, T30 and T29 too

[@to_tire]

That's the ticket for me too

[@an2939]

yeah, they have transmissions at the back so that's an easy pen

[@Redstoneprofi01]

Thats the only weakspot that works for me on pershings. And even then, volumetric screws it up but often it works

[@Brandon_J]

This doesn't work on the T26E5, it looks like it should but the actual armour model is angled more way more than what you see. Check it when you next log on. This didn't use to be the case when it was added, Gaijin quietly and quickly angled the lower plate's armour model to "balance" it.

[@patricklandfarth1182]

Great conclusion, so for a german main you have to go for the very hard tiny pixel weakspots, for the US you switch to APCR

[@canerdemir6038]

and they say germany dosent suffer only skill issue =D

[@rockerscum]

tbf he was using the 90 and not the 76 which is more common for 5.7 cuz of the A3. Also, pretty sure the 88s APCR from 100 meters can pen the Pershing because I did it without messing around with them weakspots.

[@dfnxINC]

Every german tank has APCR capable of going through their turrets plus the long 88 can shoot their mantlets. Plus just use the Jagdtiger if you suffer that much.

[@Oni_HATTORI]

@@canerdemir6038 im a german main but looks like you got a point hahaha

[@patricklandfarth1182]

@@dfnxINC Yes Germoney has APCR and still wont pen frontally IS3, IS4M, T10M, T10A, IS7, Object 279, T26E5, and many other tanks. Or have to shoot a tiny weakspot or the barrel. When I see a one of these tanks alone at the open, my first thought is "men im ead". In a one to one fight its hard as fuck.

[@Traxlar]

a good thing to keep in mind with super pershings is that, if you cannot penetrate the tank itself, to disable the tanks ability to shoot you, is shooting the elevation mechanism on the top of the turret, as it is easy to see and hit, and normally they will run away once their elevation mechanism is broken, meaning you can then close the distance or find a better angle to shoot them

[@jya4676]

normally that place is a weakspot for me. Ive had many a t34-85 and su100 shoot my elevation mechanism and kill me instantly

[@kylemartin1166]

The weakspots for the pershing/T series tanks are WAY easier than they seem in this video. Every single one of them have very weak lower front plates. With the tiger 1's pzgr funny round, its a garenteed kill on any of these tanks if they're not angled. Just remember to NEVER shoot the middle of the lower plate, always always always shoot for the right or left most corners. Even with aphe rounds like what the panther uses that only have like 13g of tnt, the ammo is stored far anough forward in the pershings that you're very likely to set one of them off & ammo rack them. The lower front plate corners are far and away a more reliable weak spot than trying to shoot the t26e5's tiny turret ring, or the volumetric hell that is the mg port on the t29/t34/t30

[@u45uify]

another weak spot on the T34, T30 and T29 is the left and right on the lower front plate, they are at an easier angle to penetrate im not sure if its the same on the pershings but they look about the same

[@alexmaximus9134]

I found it funny that you included the M56 in this list. I never realised people struggled to kill that thing.

[@DawgIVLife]

People all the time forget about the MG if its not a 50cal being useful.

[@alexmaximus9134]

@@DawgIVLife You have a point, but in the M56's case, you literally see the crew member directly, without anything to protect him.

[@SgtPrimendra]

The hardest part of killing this thing is you need to find him when he is hiding between bushes or hills

[@Kartavya64]

might want to keep the enemy tanks further apart, watching the hit cam on a neighbouring tank is irritating

A 7.0 tank with a 152mm cannon being able to easily deal with 6.7 vehicles? So shocking.

[@petrkdn8224]

@alexmaximus9134 4.7 ISU-152 uses the same round(APHE BR-540B) except 100m/s slower, can deal with anything to the UFP all the way to (including) 6.3. Only problem after that is 6.7 but the 250mm HEAT round can deal with that. And also there is SU-152 at 4.3 that also uses BR-540B, but doesn't have HEAT

[@NamasteTractors]

Use M51 problem solved

[@noname117spore]

I remember looking in the armor analyzer on American 6.7 tanks and realizing most of them have a weak spot not mentioned in this video; the sides of the lower front glacis, close to the tracks. I do remember it acting a little different on a Pershing vs a T29. Also IIRC there might’ve been one vaguely around that BR (could be a 6.3) where it was the inverse.

[@DawgIVLife]

I know of those spots but the reason why I don't recommend them is just from the post pen damage can be very hit or miss. Specially with a gun like the panthers 75mm, Its better to take out the gun then go for the MG port its very unlikely you hit the ammo from that shot and then also its not hurting any of the turret crew, so the T34 could still fire back.

[@KauppaKomissaari]

[@wallachia4797]

The most reliable weakspot on every single one of the US tanks is lower left and right sides of the hull. It doesn't always work because volumetric is still a thing in 2025, but it's better than rolling the dice on the MG port or shooting the driver's hatch (literal volumetric hell). We see it in this video aswell, it's almost impossible to reliably hit them even when they're sitting still and not shooting at you - I wouldn't recommend going for those in real matches.

The funny thing is I was playing the BMP last week and forgot about it crazy it’s still 6.7 though

[@EmeraldArchive]

I scrolled through all of the comments, and nobody at all has mentioned the easiest shot to make on the American T Series, the machine gun ports on the turret, especially with the 88, can be penetrated reliably and nearly always one shot the thing, even at longer ranges if it just pens the first plate and detonates, it can overpressure the crew I find it much more rewarding to hit those shots too instead of going for something super cheap like the hull machine gun port

[@Imago27292]

Not even worth mentioning Japan since every vehicle is made of paper

[@combat-greyhound565]

With the IS-2 and T-44, if you are in the Tiger and use the overpressure round, you easily can overpressure them with a coupola shot

[@Sandwichr]

The jagtiger and tigers can be one-shot through the sides of the lower front plate(like the hetzer) with the is2(or any 122) and jagtiger, the t95 and t29 can do it too but it often ricochets. Even with smaller aphe its worth shooting to take out the transmission so you can hit the mg port or flank.

[@Jatzki]

I like going for the triangle above the mantlet on the T34 and buddies. Works well with Tiger II at least.

[@nagato9645]

For the Super Pershing, the IS series with the 122s and maybe even the Jagdtiger can pen through the spaced armor on the hull's upper glacis

[@gopnikprince8000]

The T series heavy tanks can also easily get overpressure by heat rounds at the hump on the turret, try it with a M-51 and that will just overpressure it.

I always take APCR with some guns if the HEAT round isn't available. Anything before the M36B2 and ahead of the 75mm Shermans will have some APCR even though the post pen is garbage, at least it pens.

[@andrewswitzer6334]

My favorite shot I made against the T30/T34 (not sure which) was at close range with a panther, right through the gunner sight (large circle on the left of the gun facing it). No idea how reliable it is to shoot there though.

Quick tip as a side note. If you are a german main, do not play 5.7 The lists of benefits is bigger than the list of disadvanges playing 6.0 instead. You get 2 tigers and enemy wise theres not a big diffrence. Sure you can match against 7.0 but theres nothing really diffrent from 6.7 because of the lack of vehicles there

Why are other nations allowed to fight German vehicles with tanks they specifically made to counter heavy German armor, while Germany constantly has to punch upwards? Everyone gets to fight Germany with heavily armored tanks and ammo made specifically to penetrate German armor, while Germany gets none of this.

[@yourmomsface987]

Because Germany gets to play with their fantasy tanks that were barely made or saw combat. Not to mention their tanks breaking down or not being able to cross difficult terrain due to being heavy. If you want to fight things at realistic time periods, then most vehicles would need their realistic stats and weaknesses. Currently every thing is modeled after peak performance.
