I use Panther A only if someone pisses me off. Same goes for Jumbo. Those two I rarely use. Ok Jumbo will always use on D-Day map right at the start cuz of clearing MGs.

Hehehe same here.
Usually pissing me off is clearing MGs on D-Day :joy:
I often use the MG’s to level soldiers quickly.

Underneath the turret it should be grey, have more luck there than the mg port. Usually get 3 crew and dead on the 2nd or 3th. Mg port is just a roulette.

I sometimes have the feeling they added bullet spread from semi auto rifles to the tanks as well. Sometimes it hits the tracks or turret when I aim the 2nd shot at the turret or mg port. Not sure but a feeling.

the entire armor mechanics are so messed up.
war thunder bios rly like that “aiming for weakspots” gameplay, even tho 80% of your shots get sucked into oblivion even if it looked like a direct hit. all that because the hit boxes are broken as hell.

instead of acknowledging the fact that the dmg model is inconsistent with some compensation for this, instead they turn vehicles into super unrealistic “godmode” vehicles that can survive waay tooo many shots.

The panthers gun specifically is performing absolutely pathetical, even tho it was considered powerful enough to stop any allied tank during the war from any angle with just one single hit.
And then for what ever reason the bloody Panzerfaust deals consistently more dmg to enemy armor than any tank gun in the game.

seriously, something needs to happen.

Yes, with the Panzerfaust 60 I often one shoot kill tanks and can just go capping afterwards. There are very few cases were I would bring the Panther. One being the Invasion beach maps, if I want to optimize my bronze farming I just sit on a hill with my panther and hope that no M10 GMC is there or good pilots. But besides that I would say a Panzerfaust is far superior at destroying tanks.

The Jumbo UFP is immune to the 88 and 75mm guns. Should’ve shot the turret ring for an easy frag instead of that silly duck fight. And the Jumbo should’ve shot the side of the Panther instead of continuously going after his gun which gets repaired in a couple of seconds anyway.

if anything “it was”, however it was not, Panthers gun was much more powerful than the tigers gun.

I know you said you don’t watch streams, so I made a clip of one from my Normandy Escapades last night just for you.

Anyone who watches/follows me knows that I tank hunt. In that match last night it was 8. I left the night with a total of 18 taken out completely by me, and 4 assists.

No

Panther has more pen but the tiger had way more he in their rounds. If Panther pens you there is dmg, If a tiger pens you there is no you.

nonsense, you dont need HE filler to kill the crew of a tank.
the penetrating shrapnel would take out any vehicle most of the time with just center mass hit.

This myth of ppl still fighting back after half the crew got turned into red pudding, the other half is missing limbs and are deaf from the impact of a regular “ap” round, oh and by the way the tank is on fire and the ammo is about to blow up.

NO NO AND NO, if a tank is hit with a penetrating AT gun, its over 90% of the time.

Thanks! Glad I could do it. Seemed like the perfect thread for it.

37

Except it isn’t. Hence why tankers usually hit enemy tanks until they can visually see it suffer catastrophic damage.

38

More HE is more dmg done, let alone double HE is more dmg done. But sure make your case and tell me how more explosives and more srapnell is less good and we should shoot tanks with stones without any HE.

39

tell me what is more lethal: a nuke, or a super nova?
yea obviously a super nova, thus a nuke should be a 2 hit kill while a super nova has enough dmg do kill you in one strike.

Wow, this is a game changer, I just played a couple of rounds with the Panther today and sure enough there were Jumbo’s I couldn’t penetrate frontally, than I remembered your advice, and two shots BOOM, Jumbo gone.
Thank you so much for sharing!
