Tbh the Abrams slowly became bad over time in War Thunder just because each one of them has the exact same weak spot and people overtime just learned where to shoot them, Even if this turret ring was correct it still would not stop it being a weak spot for 99% of the rounds it would see at the BRs.
@@DawgIVLife Well atleast 2s38 and other auto cannons won't be able to pen them straight on. A fucking ZSU57 one shot me frontally. Abrams is so comically weak sometimes.
@@swat.1019 I would then just switch to APHE and pen you though the gunners optics or just aim slightly more up and go though the lower part of the breach. The abrams was never about pure armor it was about mobility but also over time the more useless armor like the unequipable Sep V2 package makes these tanks worse.
And while you can shoot through the roof of the US t32, which Im assuming would not be as possible IRL, the russian t72 still just doesnt have the cupola modeled.
There is a little bit of a lip on the top of the turret of the T32 it would be possible but IRL you don't have a HD PC screen and precise controls of the gun. Pretty sure the T72 thing is a bug since it was last update where the copula got buffed.
50cal from tier 1 to top tier is always the final way to take out tracks, guns, optics or whole vehicles. A very well modelled weapon in game and shows why it is still spammed on every US vehicle until this day.
great video , i think for france you could have added the "foch" it is 7.3 but allway get uptiered to 7.7 when played alone or just most french player use 7.7 tanks with it , it could have been intresting since it's for what i know the most armoured french tank from the frontat least
nice vid, works well, except for that i watched your 6.7 vid yesterday and proceeded to fight a pershing t26e5 and well died, was using tiger E. that weak spot is hard but maybe i just need to get better
The T26E5 is one of the hardest vehicles in the game to destroy from the front. It use to be even more insane when it was 6.3. Even when I play with a squad we focus T26E5s because we know how strong they can be so if a squad mate is in CAS and one gets called out it’s getting a bomb.
@@DawgIVLife Tiger 2s usually pen my T26E5 in the turret smh, but i think the best shot would be at the MG port. Its heavily armored compared to the other tanks, but a Tiger 2 will easily pen it, and if it does, it hill hit the ammo
Another thing to note about the IS4M is well it's unlikely you can get a shot trap off the sides of the turret and then go through the roof armor I can never do it when I'm facing one but when I'm playing it I get absolutely obliterated
Agreed for all, but for T32E1, honestly don't even try to engage frontally if you don't have HEAT. APHE turret weakspot is really wonky even when it is still. When in game, slight angle and movement make it nearly impossible to pen. Just scoot off and try to flank. Also, Cent LFP and roof are easy kill for all of them as it never got upgraded.. Good vid anyway👍👍👍
@@DawgIVLife personally i hate spawn camping i play for caps and give the other team a chance, if they get stomped i usually just mosey around in a spaa
@@warmmayo3150 spawn camping is not fun for the enemy or if your being spawn killed but most of the time if your being spawn trapped or killed the game is already over and your team is falling very rare a comeback happens for that.
Cant forget if you are facing someone who knows how to play the Centurions they can be formidable opponents if the one driving them knows how to use its strengths and also how to use its weaknesses as an advantage.
Will there be any weakpoints video for 8.7 etc? I am strugling against russian tanks like t-10m and you videos was a great help against t29 and upwards american tanks. Thanks!
Problem is that sometimes you can shoot the roof or cupola of some vehicles,but usaully those vehicles can just use their gundepression (if they are not on flat ground) and you will not see the top of their turrets, I think t32 and Conqueror could do that easily, in those cases you just shoot the gunbarrel pretty much
me watching this to counter people trying to shoot my weakspots (Except the M48's ofc) a good note to have is if someone is trying to hit somewhere on your front like your turret ring and its not an Abrams and its below your gun, if your gun was already taken out, point your gun down to block it, if its a Maus/E-100/IS-6, turn your turret so they can't hit your turret cheeks or view ports on the IS-6, for the T32 and T32E1 when people try to shoot your roof, try to find positions where you can use gun depression and angle so if they try to go for your lower plate or turret roof, they wont be able to hit it or pen your roof 👍 Oh yea, if you have a 100mm+ gun, shoot the roof of a centurion, generally it works better if you have a 122 but Centurion roofs, if you can't see their lower plate is an easy pen because its just so weak
I dont play 6.7 anymore because of my american 6.7 vehicles not doin shite to them Edit: The T-26E5 is 6.7.... I only face 7.7 vehicles in it and somehow can't pen nor spot anyone
Exactly I get so many uptiers it isnt funny. I have been grinding Israel and just recently got to 8.7. When I was 7.7 it was all uptiers, now it is all down tiers (mostly) and I am having fun one shoting everything. But you are right, US 6.7 suuucks
Most tanks by 8.7 have actually lost armor, the leopard 1s have worse armor than panthers, M60s are no better than an M103 armor wise, the only ones that may prove to be an issue is the T-55M-1 or the Chieftain mk10, the rest are weak AF
Bro really just made scuffed shots to prove himself right about the Pershing LFP. Everyone know when you shoot the edge of a tank's armor you do less damage, maybe if you made a fair shot closer to the middle of the tank when shooting the LFP you'd have better results.
99% of all problems in War Thunder are solved by letting the enemy push and make mistakes. Especially the "lets go over the hill" one where You can shoot LFP pretty much everytime
And also understand this most of the time when you are shooting at tanks you’re not gonna be 100 meters away you’re gonna be about four 500 away this video really only helps you if you’re at point blank range pretty much yes it’s helpful but you gotta use common sense my guy I’ve been playing this game for a very long time. I have about 13,000 hours on this game and I can tell you this. Yes this was helpful for newer players but from my point of view you’re showing pretty much point-blank range fights and that really only happens when you’re fighting on town maps or at capture points most of the time it’s range, so it’s a little bit harder to see your target depending on what tank you’re using and the optics you take that into account
Or you can be smart when you’re shooting the T 26 E1 and go for machine gun port about 90% of the time it will be a 100% one shot not that hard just think of it as a lower profile jumbo with a bigger gun and more armour go for the machine gun port but if you can hit that and you have a good shot or you don’t really have any good shots at all then you take out the gun
I will be working on more of these videos soon after I get adjusted to the new PC setup. Should be around 2-3 weeks then I will be making more of these again.
I always get full uptiers at 7.7 tho 😭😭
So do I at 6.7. it's probably a .7 think there is no other explanation...
I get full uptiers in every br (reserve doesn't count) 💀
@@GoldenPancake only uptieres most when you play.7
7.7 is so much better to play than 8.0.
8.0 is a blackhole
Just J out lol

love that weak spots only work for APHE, france and brittan suffer.
You say that but then you have vehicles with autoloader and very good penning guns for the BRs.
You can literally pen ufp with most british 7.7 guns
they don't because they can basically hit everywhere and still pen having ridiculously high penetration (for 90mm and 84mm).
You should make a video about how you make these custom missions - would help me a bunch with testing 😂😂
Agreed!
check live.wt , he posted it in the missions part, his user -> DawgIVLife
This shows how reliable Russain Armour and Cannons are, comparative to the rest of the Nations in this game 😐😔
For the T26E5 any shot through the hull machine gun port is also an instant kill.
Hopefully this helps players get better, I am sick of 6.7 teams crumpling against full uptiers while I am knife fighting 3 guys

That's really how it do be without teammates! Tbh I usually expect that outcome in a Tiger H1. Not a favorable matchup.

I didn't know about the T32/T32E1 turret weakspot
just shoot right below the machine gun port on the pershing
Many thanks for making these two videos.
I know most of the general weak spot areas, but not the specific spots.

Finally, some quality content that we need 👌
Love how no one shows the Ho-ri production. Forever invincible!
people really never learned that the smallest HE shell on the roof obliterates it and keep shooting at the hull
Love watching this as 6.7 Japan because I get full up tiered every game
I think everything at 6.7 gets uptiers man, seriously that BR sucks ass
tbf french tanks if they're used properly should be further than 500m away which buffs their armor a lot i usually use the Somua at around 1100m
You have a 4 second auto loader why not just push toward the spawns and get nukes

Soon as its correctly modeled T26E5 to 7.0
@@DawgIVLife Sad but true 😔
The armor model is accurate but the visual model is inaccurate. So basically when they fix it the actual armor will be unchanged.
Japan remains untouched... (les go)

the later T54's got moved up to 8.0, by then you'll likely have access to heat/dart [unless ur in a 7.0, good luck]
Take out the gun - as if that isn't a "weak spot" on every single vehicle in the entire game.
Now do the 8.7, since when u're playing with 7.7 u're most likely to get a full uptier at this br😅
Most tanks by 8.7 have actually lost armor, the leopard 1s have worse armor than panthers, M60s are no better than an M103 armor wise, the only ones that may prove to be an issue is the T-55M-1 or the Chieftain mk10, the rest are weak AF
actually if your in a 7.7 youll go to 8.7, but 9.7 will be max downtier to 8.7 so therefore you will face Abrams at 7.7
makes sense right

now i know why ive been getting hit in the turrent alot lately.... "shoot out the gun" "shoot out the gun" "shoot out the gun", so it was YOU
Once I killed an IS-3 with Jagdpanther by penning his TURRET at 200 m from the front. Maybe he activated 500% booster

Thank you unique I know that I can pen maus’s side armor with 185+
The hardest part of the maus is if they try to angle the armor. Even a slight angle will make a side shot with the M3 90mm APHE really hard to do.

Well you might have seen a surblindé if you were playing tank sim higher event 2 days ago because i was playing it then
Do a clip next on how to kill swedish vehicles (especially bkan 1c)
If you need video for that there is no hope

Can you do Tier 2 and 1 Russian vehicles weak spots?
Me, in an IS-3 or a t-44-100, failing to pen those weak spots because volumetric, specially France for some reason?
Can you do a vid of 5.3 in a full up ter
is the any site or video where i can saw the best lineups ? can inculde premium
