can someone tell me how in a T34 w/ AP rounds, the opposing T34 can fire 1 shot at my tank and take out my turrent and then 2nd shot I'm dead? It seems to take me many shots just to take out a T34, and thats hitting the turrent and the engine area. Seems some players are able to hit a tank while moving from a good distance and take it out w/ a single shot. Any thoughts?

Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

practise, and they may of been using the HVAP rounds, which have far better armour penetration at short range than the AP rounds.

Yup it's all about practice. Took me a long time to get the hang of it. Basically by watching the guys of the Hired Guns squad killing me again and again in EW until I was able to figure out how they were doing it ;)

For the fifth confirmation....Practice.

Hitting a moving tank is easy, even at a good range...but it won't happen without a lot of practice.

If we had the old TT back, you'd get all you wanted... practice, that is :)

turrent

if you can knock that out with a T-34 you're quite a shot.

All tanks have a weak spot, where you can get a 1 shot kill.  For example, a panzer can kill a T34 with 1 shot if you know where to aim.  The 1 shot kill spot on a T34 is .................na I can't tell ya, have to figure it out for yourself:t

Find a buddy or squadmate and run some tests. It's not that hard. Friendless? hehe, Get a second computer and test in h2h Lan mode. The T34 has a huge gaping kill hole in it's... nah, I won't tell you either.:t

Like other people have said, you need to practice.  Each tank has weak points on it that if you hit you can take the tank out, just like every tank has heavly armored parts that take many more hits to kill the tank if your shooting it at those points.
