Apcbc has worse effect on angel amour though its statistic is better.

This video really shows just how op the Kugelblitz’s survivability is. 3 122mm shots and 3 105mm shots. This video needs to be seen to raise awareness.

Reason the Kugelblitz is so resilient is the armoured plating between the turret crew and the forward positions in the hull. Unless you railgun them all, you'll take 2 shots.

Just Monika heat-fs were so good at destroying tanks in 50s-60s that some experts believed that tanks would go extinct. Then composite armored T-64 kicked in and West began to fear USSR. Then APFSDS kicked in and USSR began to fear US. (We actually have been fearing to these days, our "best latest super cool tanks" are trash. Please don't fight us)

divine yes but our tanks's armor is just too old. It can't provide normal protection even in frontal perspective. When americans are using NERA, ARAT, BRAT systems to protect the crew - we have fucking ТЕКСТОЛИТ. (You can google that shit, basically you can make it at home if you want lol) And autoloader. The crew is sitting on the shells with 0 protection.

8:18 I think I know what happened. The machine gun port is a weak point and I think the Tiger shot close enough to it that the game messed up and sort of half-counted the hit, so the shell did damage, but it didn't have its full effect.

[@MrJerrodricketts]

Challenge time: Using the Japanese M42, in 1 game, you must first get 2 tank kills, then 2 Aircraft kills, followed by 2 more tank kills. In that order. You can use the fully upgraded M42 if you wish.

[@theraindog9141]

So I was on new Kursk the other day, playing the Maus. I saw a machine gun poking up over the hill, and I roughly knew the range so I sent a 128mm shell his way. It arced over the hill and dink straight into the cupola of an IS-3, knocking out all his crew. He didn't spawn again and I don't blame him.

[@vale.44peru]

The 88 can pen the IS-3 mantlet where the gunner optic is, it’s quite small though. Also the kugle has a ball turret which is pretty much a ball of armor in which those three guys are contained and it allowed that guy to survive that much

[@stigerking9838]

To be fair, for 16:20 the kugle blitz has a ball turret, which is completely enclosed with 30mm armor, which stops spalling most of thr time

[@roberttauzer7042]

For some reason, this heavy thing is my favorite tank also (beside other Russian top tier heavies such as IS-6, IS-7, Object 279) - there is something about Russian heavies, they look mighty and imposing, germans are too large, boxy and unwieldy and US heavies are fine but lack personality, Russians are just in sweetspot. Unfortunately IS-3 comes at the sunset of heavy tanks in-game when most of the nations abandoned the concept. Not in his historical time but in his gaijin BR timeline. Yes against ww2 tech and when downtiered you're menace but on your BR there is usually a substantial number of tanks that can Penn you even frontally which kinda leaves you as slowish, unwieldy opponent with low Penn gun (great post-Penn damage thou) and bad reload. It's still a competent vehicle that sometimes can work great, but it's unfortunately not a WT meta.

[@anacleos345]

My first game in the IS-3 (which was like a week ago) I got max up tier and had to fight Chieftains and their 320mm APDS. They STILL couldn't pen my UFP. I felt super stronk.

[@yayamamasami1963]

[@buddythedoge698]

Apparently at 11:37 u can see the arado with boosters on the bottom of its wings! That’ll make for a great video perhaps Phly!

[@doomskull7549]

despite the fact that he claims a 92% efficiency on kills at the start, with 20 penetrations and 16 kills, he actually only attains an efficiency of 80%.

[@kden9772]

IS3 and BMP1 is a super good lineup because if you are uptiered you can use the BMP’s heat and if you are down tiered you can eat the Germans with their tiny 88s that can’t do anything against you. Unless they’ve nerfed the BMP1 by now

[@sergeantpuddles8144]

1/3 of all incoming shells will ricochet from turret to hull, sometimes even at ~90°. NEXT GEN.

[@azmanabdula]

I have found in certain tanks moving slightly as a round hits you can save you in other tanks that shit can get weird For example a panther A with a turret angle and hull at 30 degrees bounces like mad, but move and things just slip in

[@Skironxd]

The T32 is my favourite heavy tank in the game. Armour you can rely on at a fun battle rating not ruined by helicopters, but high enough to face some cool tanks as well. The maneuverability is great, and the turret rotation is quick. Lots of fun!

[@felipeluchetta5792]

the upper part of the gun or the "roof" above the breach should be a weak spot as it is only a thin layer of steel designed to lift while gun is replaced/mounted/maintained/installed.

The IS-3 was the best a few years ago, but now with HEATFS and APFSDS it's just butter armor. For me the Tiger II H Sla 16 is the best heavy since its turret has more tracks covering, and more engine torque (diesel engine), plus 2x XP.
