statement that isnt true. you can easily find KV1 with unobstructed view to ammo. it is not like every battle is on stalingrad with those barriers in the middle of road.
as long as turret is penetrable on any angle.
still didnt give me one tank that can penetrate hetzer frontally on BR1-3
if you snipe every crew member individually you only need 4-5 shots (and you will probably kill crew in 2-3 shots most of the time). you know what are those weak spots? optics (guaranteed driver kill+usually commander/gunner/loader depending on angle), MG port (machinegunner kill+loader sometimes), turret (for gunner/commander/loader).
and that is without your “weakspot” being visible.
imagine comparing a turreted tank that is probably the best protected tank against det packs to a turretless tank destroyer with 20mm side armor and 8mm top armor.
And this works at where ? Sure if you only play at tutorial then fine.
But unless you take out the gun with first hit you aint sniping shit as you die rather instantly in return fire.
You forgot that the Hetzer is a TD with thin side armour. Any BR2 tank can destroy it from the side which should be easy considering that it has turn on the target.
try hitting the side when the Hetzer though not married to has a committed relationship with the gray zone
