How does 1 kill the t-34 with AT rifle?

[Twistolation]

I just can't seem to handle killing the t-34, no visual indication of damage done, and most of the time i die before i even have my sights on the tank...

I seem to be able to take out the panzerIV with EASE but if a t-34 rolls by i usually just leave the game since no matter where i hit that thing, it doesn't even get a dent in it!

Any1 maybe post some picks where to hit it? i just can't stay alive to figure it out with that hull mg

I've killed a few by flanking and shooting the engine compartment from a nintety degree angle, usually take 2-3 shots before it flames and explodes. I'll check my screenshots and see if I have any pics.

shooting the frontal turret area has a bugged (must be) hitbox where you either kill the commander, jam the ring, break the gun and/or possibly blow up the tank and it's ammo in a clipful of 14.5mm's.

Aiming slightly to the left of where the sight is in the pic is what works for me.

Well as much as I have used the AT rifle I have found it easier to kill T-34 then Pz IV, have yet to get one.

Really i mean REALLY
You can take out a T34 @ 250 + m
just shoot the front of the turret
The best way to take out a PZ4 is throw your AT gun at it
there alot post about how you cant take out a PZ4 with the russian AT but how easy it is with the german AT

Here's one one shot on a undamaged T-34 from 168m. I aimed at the side of the turret and it just went BOOM.

Spoiler!

AT rifle has serious issues. I won't even bother learning it until it's fixed because it should be significantly weaker than it is, and you'll just have to re-learn later.

I've fired on the P4's magazine from the left side, the right side, the rear, the front... I've fired at the turret from all sides... I can not get a 1 hit kill anywhere. I've killed the driver and commander in one shot before, but I've never taken out the whole tank.

I have taken about 3 panzers out in 1 hit kills . Kinda hit and miss until I can find the sweet spot(Need a SDK training map)

To determine if you damaged a tank with an ATR, you'll normally see a flash of an explosion where you hit, while weak shots that are deflected or did nothing just turn into a gray cloud puff and you typically hear a "plink" noise.

As others have said, aim for the turret of the T34..... for some reason it seems to be the weakest spot to shoot at, as you almost always kill the commander, which then automatically blows up the tank & doesn't give them a chance to switch to a bot.

Well the AT guns are the same just named differently.

All you gotta do is shoot the side where the ammo is stored, and bang, one popped open Panzer.

 

[The Harvester]

No! I love tanks, why would you wanna blow up my nice, brand new Panzer IV

 

[k9mike]

I got a good kill once by hitting it on main chassis slightly behind turret but above the tread...think this is where ammo is. It went up really good.

Will this ever be fixed?? Also check the P IV for this.

These are my feelings. Everything I've read about German AT rifles is they were pretty much disregarded by the troops as heavy useless weapons, this is especially true of doing anything to a t-34 which would have absolutely nothing to fear from an AT rifle at any feasible angle.

The flanks of a PzIV however were vulnerable to short range shots from AT rifles, at least enough to wound crew members.

 

[Field Marshal Rommel]

DarknRahl the in game rifles are the same thing. PzB 784(r) = PTRS

The T34 was immune to AT rifles IRL

the PZIV from the sides and rear was not

 

[Vesper11]

Just played Red October Factory and all I can say is that tank (in my case t-34) becomes near useless if AT guy knows what to do.

The few times I met that guy:
driver, gun, hull mg'er; scuttle
engine, gun, driver; scuttle
side armor got damaged, then engine; was lucky to kill him 1st
plonk against armor, then boom, tank destroyed.
And few other times.

And I thought that I have to fear PzIVs, they look like puppies in front of PTRS.

The PzB 784(r) is just a captured PTRS-41. Which is OP in the game. The PTRD and the correct power should return along with sensible AT grenades.
