The 45 goes though every German’s turret like a hot knife through butter, the only things it struggles at is heavily sloped hull armors of the Panzer 4 and Panzer 3J.
Meanwhile the sloped and overlapping Russian turrets are more than capable of RNGing 75mm shots without damage.

Then you didn’t check very hard - the T-28 can only penetrate 34mm at 0 meters and 0 degrees - because it has a shrapnel shell instead of AP.
Also if they are using WT mechanic, then the 20-K has a 50% ricochet chance at 63 degrees of angle, plus exactly 30mm penetration at 60 degrees - making it highly inconsistent when hitting sides that are steeply andgle away for example.
The german 37mm has similar ricochet chance at 60 degrees - but of course it has a little bit of excess penetration, and 2.5:1 T/D overmatch of the 15mm side armour of the T-26 and BT - which can make a great deal of difference
But the T-28 it gets only 20-30mm armour itself - which makes if vulenrable to every Axis AT gun, including the ATR’s - at all ranges. And it such a monstrosity of angles there is always somewher that is not angled at all!! lol
Laughable that the whereaboo’s are whining about being able to be killed, whn all their guns can kill all Soviet tanks at all ranges, and with less regard for any angling.
the t-28 smashes pz. iis, pz. iii Bs, and iii Es when it hits them since explosive shells don’t care about armor angling. It doesn’t matter if it only penetrates 34mm of armor if it lands ontop of your turret or hull.
you CAN bounce the 45mm K, but it’s not reliable, and I was clear that it could penetrate the turret frontally. I didn’t say that it could penetrate the turret at a steep angle, because that’s a given it will have issue doing.
The T-28 is extremely durable, and I have never killed one that wasn’t either abandoned or very nearly dead from an aerial bomb. You can penetrate it, and kill crew, but you almost can’t exhaust the sheer number of crew inside. The ATR is nowhere near reliable enough to kill a T-28 with it, since it struggles with t-26s.
The explosive shells don’t so squat to any German tanks - again you show your general ignorance of hte topic.
The T-28 can take some hits from the 37mm guns because it has a big crew, not because it has good armour or German guns are no good!! But even then the 37’s can do it in 2 shots - 1 can kill the entire turrete crew pretty reliably, the end when crew move into the turret to try to shot back!
And hte 75mm can OHK it at most common combat angles - hit it in the main body under the turret from front or side. Not from the rear because the engine blocks the shot.
Do you even play tanks at all??!! 
I don’t have the Pz. IV in moscow, which i’ve mentioned in earlier posts. The T-28’s 75mm L-cannon absolutely demolishes earlier german tanks with explosive shells. And in the post you’re replying to i didn’t say i can’t penetrate a T-28, I’ve said i’ve never been able to kill all the crew before it or another tank kills me.
There’s zero reason to be impolite on a forum about a stupid tank and infantry game, so behave yourself please.
Bro you haven’t figured out that explosive shells ingame can do ludicrous damage? Panzer 4 HE shells can kill all soviet tanks with HE in the right areas, likewise the T-28 is more than capable of killing any German tank frontally with the right hit (cupola!) with HE shells.
Its how I’ve regularly been 1 shot by 28’s in my various german tanks which should be 100% immune to its Shrapnel shells frontally.
None of the German tanks are immune to the Shrapnel frontally - come back when you have a clue.
It’s not RNG. It depends on angle, distance and hit location. You are fooling yourself if you think Russian turrets are hard to pen compared to German equivalents. This is patently not true.
Besides the T-50, no Russian tank has even halfway decent turret armor. And it is not somehow “better sloped” than the German ones.

The T-28 demolishes earlier German tanks with Shrapnel shells, which have poor penetration for the cannon size, but high internal damage when they do pen. It does not oneshot any German tank with explosive shells afaik, though I think I killed a Pz.II C by shooting like 15 HE at it one time.
I wasn’t aware the T-28 had shrapnel shells, I’ve always been told the only shells it had are high explosive.
Lmao the Pz38t should be 100% immune frontally outside of point blank yet that is demonstrably not true from my experience.
Yeah no, it has shrapnel and HE. Changes between them same as any other tank, but shrapnel has those quirks I mentioned earlier.
Usually when I pop German ones with too much armor, it’s because I can see the top of their turret - Like when they are driving down a hill. “100% immune frontally” is not a thing, all tanks have weak points at key locations, and you don’t know exactly what your opponent is seeing/shooting at. I think your 38t has an especially vulnerable cupola.
