Can some one help me?

[Spyder]

Hi. How can I make my tank harder to kill? I watch all the good tankers and they have this. I have asked around and people have said that if I make my connection slower it will do the trick, is this true?

[Clone155]

Seriously? Dude, there is NO WAY to make your tanks have more armour if thats what your asking... 

Who have you been asking that told you that?

Not true.  All players' tanks and planes are the same. You need to hit vulnerable spots, use cover, and know how to present the least vulnerable parts of your ground vehicle and plane to the enemy.  e.g. show a side profile rather than a full top-down target area to other planes, or deny flat angles against your armor to other tanks or ground attack planes.  Ideally this last one would be 45 degrees, but front usually being weaker than side armor, the optimal angle is some front-facing bias.

Drop bombs on the other tanks, all tankers deeply respect someone who can bomb them accurately, especially if you do it from Lancasters.

LOL, WAS THIS SERIOUS THREAD

Oh. The reason I ask is because of those stories that I always hear. For example the one I heard today "400 yards away from a sherman in my panzer, I shoot him in the side, and he turns his turret and hits my front and I die".

Some tanks do have better armor than others.  The Sherman's is heavier than a Panzer's.  Also, rounds will just bounce off if you don't hit in the right places.  Sounds like the Panzer didn't know how to kill the Sherman.

Hearsay is hearsay.  What an anecdote doesn't say is that there's both lethal and non-lethal spots to hit on both a GV's flank and front.  You can puncture empty space or hit the pilot, or engine, etc.

[Easyscor]

lol, at least he didn't tell you that Alt F4 would do it. Count yourself lucky.

[B4Buster]

One thing you'll learn Spyder is this game is full of story tellers. Most of the time the actual even gets distorted the way the story teller wants it
