T-34 needs a armor nerf or something needs to be looked out. I’m over here getting 1 shotted about 60% of the time in a Panther, all the while a T-34 that is only showing its turret acts like a King Tiger with hardly any penetration on the turret. Then if im able to get a turret ring shot, it takes atleast 3-4 shots to actually kill the thing, all the while the penetration icon is showing massive amounts of shrapnel going inside the tank and killing crew/components.

right now, the T34 85 is definitely better than the Panther tank.
If you dont aim for the turret ring weak spot you will either bounce or only kill 1-2 members, while the T34-85 needs about 1-2 hits to blow up a panther.
Its beyond me that 90 mm of turret armor can withstand a gun that has over 180mm of penetration.
Something needs to happen, and i’m not even starting to talk about the Panzer IV J…
also what tha hell is going on with the t34 driver hatch? thought a “weak spot” is supposed to have less armor?
It has 75mm armor but in general it’s as broken as driver hatch/window on T-34/Tiger I in War Thunder.
oh wait 75mm ? so its thicker?
Yeah in War Thunder the turret ring is the easiest way to kill a T-34-85 (or at least deal huge critical damage) without having a strong tank. In Enlisted that’s something else.
Yes, driver hatch is thicker due to protection of the driver. A lot people don’t know this and they are thinking it’s weakspot.
PS: Good to shoot weakspot is the mg in the hull.
In real life the concussion of artillery shell/tank shell was enough to kill/disable the guys inside without them even bleeding.
I’ve OHK T34s before and I’ve also had them absorb an insane amount of shots. It seems really random.
Last night me and another AT soldier stood on opposite sides of the tank and shot panzerfausts into it. It got hit with what…4-5 panzerfausts before it went up?

I’ve done some OHKing with the IVJ as well.
Always aiming at the turret it seems like it can do anything between OHK and kill 1 crew member.
Though today I also managed to break a barrel on one in 1 shot.

Yeah idk if I’d immediately scream that shit needs to be balanced. I just don’t know if tank damage models are optimal.
I’ll point blank a crew member in a tank with a anti-tank rifle and the WT hit model shows it going straight through his head and it turns him yellow.
OR…
I shoot an ATR at a tank and it immediately explodes catastrophically

The driver’s hatch was thickened during the war, but the sheer impact of shells tended to buckle the hatch into the tank, killing the driver and others.
If the ring is shot, the turret traverse should at least be damaged. Even charges did that.
the T34 hatch had more steel, but was fitted with a different type of steel that splintered SO easily. just a few shots to any part of the hatch would cause this weird metal to fracture on the inside of the tank, killing the driver instantly. Also in the case of an emergency evacuation if the hatch was even hit once, the hinges bent and broke, which is why every other country put the hatch on the top.
