Tactics How To Kill Angled Soviet Tanks

[Sichartshofen]

A problem that has plagued German tankers for years can now be over come.

The magic spot is the drivers hatches. Hit that dead on and the round will cause damage even though it deflects. After 2-3 direct hits the russian tank explodes. Any russian tank can be destroyed by any German tank using this method. This works at any range as well. This can be applied to both stock tanks and armored beasts.

To demonstrate the effectiveness of this I used the PzIV F1 to destroy angled IS-2's, T34's and KV1's head on.

Pay very close attention as to how I am aiming at the hatch in this video. Remember the guns are off set to the right of the actual sight which in turn makes the shell trajectory slightly off to the right. I always aim on the left edge of a hatch to compensate for this.

Yes, I can kill them all with the T-60 on the hatches ( both with AB 2.07 probably 2.8 as well havent checked and stock tanking) I made a vid awhile back before my hard drive died on me. On the German tanks on stock tanking for you russian tankers there is a funny hovering weak spot that is actually floating a bit above the Driver's front plate( Panzers III ,IV, Tiger possibly on Panther) I and one in the rear floating just above the left filter pipes on the Tiger I and on the T-34 there is a funny floating one near the cylinders.

Good luck hitting those hatches from 500+m, going to be hard to put this into effect on maps like Orel where there is a lot of open space, and not enough cover. Other than the IS2, I've been always aiming for the closest front wheel when they were angled, and with the kv1s, its hard to find someone who does angle it correctly to deflect inoming shells.

Where can i download this map? I have "Tank Range" map but it only allows frontal shooting.

Would like to see a newly made one simuliar to lubjankow, but with the new vehicles in it. Would like to see how well that is152's aphe works on a angled tiger.

Hit the Tiger with two 152mm HE shells and it's toast...sometimes in one hit.

This is the map I use for tank training. It's specifically made for German training only.
