Thanks guys. I'd say the first shot volley was perfect and the tank was doomed after that. You'll notice the red in the screen in shot#2A from the first volley? The placement of the first volley was about perfect and where you want to aim to take out this tank. I believe the T-34 is the toughest tank in the game to take out with aircraft cannon. The Panzers and Shermans you can pretty much overwhelm with cannon volume, but even they die quickly in this chassis top from the high rear angle attack profile. Many times I will even touch off a few volleys separate without even leaning heavy on the trigger. Most of all with the T-34.
This particular T-34 was pretty slick and had me chasing him around for awhiles taking that angle away from me by either hiding under trees or circling fast. Thats another thing about the T-34, that its fast. Now had he turned his main gun a little more right he would have obscured some of the prime attack area of the tank, "course he might have lost his own cannon too".
You'll notice in the 5A and 5B shots that shot on the right rear crew plate? The armor is so thick in that rear plate that it caused the 37mm cannon round to ricochet off. Had I placed that shot a bit higher I would have had that top rear of the chassis.
Hope this helped.
