All BR III tanks currently in game can damage the KTs barrel, then the track. Then its GG.
There should be absolutely no issues with any tank in game right now with the new mechanics. The most difficult tanks now are the US tanks without muzzle breaks, because its harder to hit the barrel consistently - go figure.
From a historical perspective, during WWII the KTs only feared the IS-2s 122mm or the SU/ISU 152mm HE rounds frontally because it could cause significant spalling. I guess the Pershing could probably punch through with the 90mm as well but that didn’t happen either, since I don’t think they got rounds on each other. From the side was a different issue though, which is why the Soviets never had any issues with them on the Eastern Front. Once they flanked them it was good night charlie.
All faction do that and most BR3 will obviously desert, nothing new there.
The number of German mains dropped due to holidays so German BR3 is more likely to get uptiered as before.
I dislike those cowards too, I hope they stop playing Germany and go back to USSR where they belong.
Side A needs to “lol just aim for mg port” or “lol just flank bro” or mg cannon and track depending if cannon actually gets damaged.
Side B needs to pen tank frontally with one hit and then can farm infantry again.
Sounds fun to me. I dont know why more people choose B and less A.
From an historical perspective, the tank would probably not reach the front or out of fuel in Berlin.
I shoot tanks in the barrel as often as I can, there are no issues as long as I can get a clean shot. Sometimes its hard because the object boxes skew the aim point on the gun. Especially common on Berlin maps. But if you can get a good shot into the barrel you’re good to go.
by the time you break his tracks or barrel, if you have the right perks ( aka faster repair & fast leaving the vehicle ) , you can fix the breach by standing in the back of the turret in less than 4s
which in those 4 seconds you still have to close the distance and considering that US only gets putted in the new battle of the bulge… good luck.
you can’t simply do it.
( at least, the sherman 76 ( more roundy one ) and sherman fireflys are simply unable to even damage the barrel from various angles unless you’re 10 feets away )
Ah ok, so in this particular case, you need to get out to fix it, and in order to fix the barrel you need to be up front where you can get targeted by the tank that damaged the barrel in the first place.
Actually I have more issue playing BR5 german and seeing my fking team with Pz II C and Pz III J while still using the Mauser Bolties, in fking BR5, I refuse to believe the Devs “fixed” their BR system in the last patchnote
