t-34 against t-34 DOES NOT WORK!!!!
« on: July 31, 2009, 11:05:34 PM »
In early war you on;y have the t-34's as the main battle tanks and i had a shoot out that ended when i ran out of rounds because the weak gun and the armor makes it hard to destroy other t-34's. :devil

Use HVAP rounds from short range.

You both weren't shooting at the weak spots.

The turret is very suspectible to HVAP (shoot at the gun mantlet), and for a one hit kill shoot at the hull. Hit the edge where upper & lower glacis meet, right under the drivers position. From the side, hit between first & second roadwheel.

If the range is very long, you might consider tracking your enemy first ( a few AP or HE vs the same track do the trick), then move around for the kill.

 I went T34 v T34 a couple of times yesterday. Have to say that all I got was a lot of pings and richochets. Didn't try the HVAP tho. Will try that next time.

You will have to remember every tank has a sweet spot to hit. And if you factor in range, movement and yes sometimes even connection lags contribute to missing that sweet spot. We have all experienced times when it seems all we can get are richochets. Online gaming isn't a perfect "gaming" environment as of yet. So just keep at it and try not to get frustrated. I forget where, but you can do a search on a previous post that Belial put up with illustrations discussing each tanks sweet spots. Very informative.  :salute

Try using a P-38 with 1000lbers.

Works like a charm.

Hope this helps. :salute

The T-34's armor seems somewhat over modeled. It was very effective against the early German 37 mm and 50 mm AT guns, but not against a 75+ mm class weapon. The front glacis plate on the T-34/76 was only 45 mm thick. By comparison the contemporary M4 Sherman had a 51 mm plate.
It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.

Because the burden of proof falls upon the accuser, and everyone is innocent until proven guilty.

If you want to accuse someone of cheating, you'll need a lot more argument than just "he never dies".

When I've met people like Drex or hblair or Supongo and etc, I always died, and they never died. And I know they don't cheat.

Well said. If an opponent is difficult to kill, chalk it up as longer gaming experience
