You don’t need to do that, AB41 can hold it’s own in frontal engagements since it can go through the gunner side of the of the turret and it has aphe

Yep AB 41 beats Allies tanks 1 and 2 in most head on engagements.
If you see a Grant then run to another flank or GTFO

This is enough to give me hard on. Will be lethal in Tunisia maps, like we’ve seen in the short amount of time the campaign was in CBT.
Looking forward to properly equipping my US squads with it. Not sure if anyone else plays that way but all my British squads use only British weapons and US only gets US weapons

well it shouldn’t, eventually the dumb developers will fix the damage models (is that hard to copy/past them from war thunder?)
I don’t think they’re dumb at all. We had a pretty hefty series of updates that may have been why they hadn’t tested or implemented proper damage models. I’m sure they will fix them soon enough.
Remember they patched HE and Bombs before the patch that change probably has a lot to do with why the AB 41 tank is being so resistant to shells.

Ah yes they need to fix the 14mm of turret armor that the a13 possesses, but seriously a13 isn’t Well armored and uses solid shot so yeah AB41 can stand up against it in frontal engage

sure it can pierce the a13 but at the same time the a13 40mm cannon should oneshot the ab 41 almost everywhere unless you shoot the wheels or something like that
The British shells are currently a joke. Its like poking a dagger through hoping to hit the same ammo rack 4 times so it actually detonates
Uhh what? One shot it anywhere? Dude you really need to try the British so you can see what youre actually talking about

Yes, with the exception of Thompson line smgs… I like those and England really did buy a few for that campaign historically. I won’t equip Garands to my Brits though, I love the mk4 too much

Yes I agree. There are many photos of the British carrying all types of thompsons so I allow that one

I’ve played this game for 6 months and in these 6 months damage models have always been broken, in every campaign. Tanks are way too durable and tank battles in this game are a shitshow, they had the guts to add the panther in normandy lol, the sherman/jumbo cannon struggles to pen a pz 3.

I said that it should oneshot the ab not that it does…chill dude.
Ah my mistake. Tank models need a massive over haul. Theyre all a wreck
Eheh yes, Normandy is really infamous for it’s bizzare tank choice.
Sadly I’m starting to see this in Moscow as well… the t-50 is the equivalent of Normandy jumbo for armour, the m2 for speed and maneuverability, and has a canon that can pen any and all German vehicles. Only things that do are 500kg bombs (250 sometimes work) and good old tnt underneath. It would be fine if the vehicle remained a rare thing due to being lvl 29, but everyone who has paid battle pass now has a max starred version of it (I’m guilty of that pleasure as well) if that wasn’t bad enough already, there’s now the premium Valentine…

That was a really dumb move for the developers to do. Handing them out like candy made sure to have unbalanced tank battles by even the lowest level of players. Only chance is a plane or det pack

While I do agree damage models for vehicles do need some work.
There are 1 shot points for a lot of vehicles. This is why I go to the practice range every so often per faction campaign to figure things out.
I spend like 10 minutes or so per campaign just putting some shells in each tank and seeing ok if I shoot here from this angle what can I take out. Where is the weakspots etc.
Once you figure that out it’s pretty easy to blow things up.
I’m not sure if it’s a design choice but if everything was an easy 1 shot like in Warthunder sometimes experienced tankers would absolutely dominate certain maps and create a tank graveyard near 1 teams tank spawn meaning 1 team would have zero armour for most of the game.

I’m aware of that, same issue with m72 found on jumbo and Sherman in Normandy, where I found that it generally will create spall if I hit the screen but not really any spalling if I hit the main body then it creates no spalling

Yes, when they released it the t 50 was absolutely broken, that shit was impervious to damage unlike the jumbo that is way more vulnerable but every tank is broken. I once had to shoot a t-60 18 fucking times with a pz 3 to destroy it, same thing in normandy against german tanks, in theory the sheman main gun should oneshot the pz3/4 no problem but in enlisted you can’t do shit unless you shoot at the sides that’s why i’m fucking worried to play that campaign again and fight a panther
