Me, a Britbong: Ok so side hull and center mantlet, got it.

[@mcsurb695]

Can u tell me where is side hull and center mantlet?

[@lukeskylicker]

@@mcsurb695 Side hull is litterally just the side of the tank. If an enemy pressed W on their keyboard it would look as if they're going straight to the left or right. This is a good, super easy shot for any tank where you can hit just about any crew member or module you would want to. The mantlet is the armor immediately surrounding barrel. This can be very well armored but most of the time you can still knock out the gun breech or the gunner and chip away at the rest of the crew.

[@Kraus-]

A bonus for mantlet shots is that they are almost never angled if the enemy is looking at you.

One time I was in M19 and attacked a Tiger 2. I couldn't pen it so I was just driving around it in 10 meters and shoting. But then I remembered the weakspot on the back of the turret just when the Tiger turned its turret away from me. 3 to 5 shots and got a kill

[@tacos_with_sauce8887]

It would be nice if my tank rounds were not bouncing off a hinge on latch on a panzer and getting my 228mm of pen absorbed. Same goes for the sights that they have. It just eats spalling.

[@kairngodofbelligerence6163]

Which Panzer? Most of them have very little armor

[@jarskil8862]

Remember that over penetration exists. If tank has too little armor, explosive shells just behave as Solid shot. This is especially problem for German 88mm. That cannon is too big for some targets.

[@user-ns4zm8qe9p]

I know right I notice optics consuming damage I don’t think that’s how that would go though 😂

[@panther-nk2hn]

@@user-ns4zm8qe9p Optics are easily one of the most annoying things in this game. They eat shells like they're cotton candy, you don't actually lose anything when they're broken, and it's near impossible to see them on the tank so you can avoid hitting them.

@@CarHuddle German tanks are great, but the players can consistently be found lacking. Just this last play session, I got 11 kills in a Jagdpanzer 4 and 15 kills overall, and we still lost because the rest of my team spent the match dying.

[@ImadZeryouh]

Use light tank and make a circle around the enemy then ambush them from behind. Make sure u stay on their backside. There will be softer targets like artillery, AA and tankdestroyers with less armor. Going head on against superior tanks is always suicide. Thats how I climbed to rank 2. Rank 3 gets harder to pull it of because they know what they do. But in mountaines areas with alot of cover u can sneak aswell.

[@badmarshmallow9211]

I’ve heard somewhere that weak spots occur more often in between the forward first and second third of the tank. For example, if you were to split the tank into three thirds no matter the angle of the tank, you should shoot about where the intersection of the forward most and the middle section of the tank is. As another example, if a tank is perpendicular to where you are aiming, you should try to shoot at the intersection of the first and second third of the tank but if it is at a roughly 40 degree angle, you should shoot above where the front of the track is as that would be roughly in between the first and second third of the tank.

[@pencilcase8068]

Too complicated for my pepega mind to understand

[@lickytime9683]

[@killerbug05]

German tank armor feels so inconsistent, sometimes I'll tank 25 shots directly aimed at my weak points, and then other times they'll just launch a round through my thickest front armor at an angle with non piercing rounds like it's butter 😭
