Tier 7 SMV has a listed 80mm gun mantlet but requires upwards of 255 penetration to go through it. The pen marker behaves as of it was 80mm as well, being green to tier 5s but not being penned by tier 8s...
Fun fact about the E3, if you find yourself facehugging one, you can shoot into the little pockets left and right of the gun mantle where the upper plate dips to make room for the mantle. Its only 170mm thick.
I agree with Rudolf’s comment, Quickybaby’s content is good in my opinion, for the most part. I’ve made my opinion about him clear in my video on him, and none of that critique was directed towards his videos. That I can recall at least.
@@HonestGamingLife i think that his content is alright, just not as useful as these weakspot guides and i can't really stand his personnality. sorry if you guys think i went too far with that joke, i can delete this comment if you want me to
As an English Gentleman I’d expect you to sing the high praises of the Black Prince because we know all other lines of tanks outside of the UK 🇬🇧 are rubbish. Enjoyed the video my friend entertaining and informative. Have a good one
Steve - the reason that the lower plate 'armour' is not modelled in the corners is because it is not armour at all! this is also the reason why you can blow the track off. It is in fact the suspension for the first road wheel!
If you angle it properly, the VK 100 will not have any spot with less than 220mm effective armor. This makes it the best counter to the BZ I could find, because if you know what you're doing, they can pick between bouncing off their AP, or doing 140 damage with HE. The cupola has a roughly 50-50 chance for an HE penetration though, so don't get too cocky! However, if you really want to make BZ.176 players seethe, use the VK. (Also, it can easily shoot the BZ's roof, even if you face-hug it, just as an added bonus)
Part two when the eyebrow regrows. Yes they do regrow Steve, Despite what some said about their sisters or wives plucking their eyebrows until there are none left and having to tattoo them on, the difference is that when you shaved them, you did not pull the follicle out at the same time. In fact, in later life men's eye brows begin a life of their own and start to grow rapidly as if they are some hairy caterpillar trying to take over your head!
Still haven’t forgiven WG for nerfing back the E5 because players were crying that the cupola was too “strong” after the buff. Yet you didn’t hear an outrage when the S. conq, came along just months later at the same year with it’s -10 gun depression, faster reloading, well sloped and can be hidden cupola and it’s nearly symmetrical turret face with spaced armor. Fuckers…, I like the S. conq, but that was just reallt annoying to see. Also you forgot the side armor of the IS-4
Probably the most Bullshit thing Wargaming's done to mid tiers prior to the BZ-176 is the VK 100.01. Imagine you have to face this thing with the mighty T29! Combine the absolutely insane armour with Wargaming's gobshite corridor map design, and lower tiers get to just bend over and take it unless the guy is a moron. Even worse if you are in a medium tank like a Sherman or a T-43. Even with gold rounds, the side and rear armor can be troll as hell, and if you run out while "just flanking"? Well... You get to paddle merrily up shit creek with your hands today, my son!
Always good when the video starts with Peabody doing a potty-dance in an E3
Thanks for watching!

Smexy!
Love those videos man ! They are so interesting, a certain British RUclipsr would never do this kind of quality content
Imagine using content this good as nothing more than an excuse to hate on someone.
@@RudolfJelin I mean honestly the dude does not make it hard to dislike him.

Aye, that's fair enough.

ahhh BZ counters are good :)
Kranvagn gun "mount " the thing the gun sits on so many ppl try also t9 udes right side couple is near unpenable
aaaaawwwww so cute....when steve had a full head of hair and 2 eyebrows 😁
Very informative video as always, although I found it difficult to see the pen indicator.
Fair point, I should have zoomed it a little!
I very much enjoy these videos. I'm using Steve's intelligence against my enemies!
HUZZAH!
I'm always learning with you my friend ! Thx
Thanks for watching!
wonderful video mate, thanks
Thanks alot for watching!
7:40 dude, 2/3 of your entire arm is triceps. 😮

Noted :)
Theres a small spot on the e3 cupola that you can actually pen. It's around 250mm effective.
Yeah lower down is viable for an attempt.
Thanked Steve, me did not know the last one. Tbh the VK just gets murdered by premium shells...
It is a bit of a lucky dip with premium shells. Still good tho.
there is so much more tanks to could have been in your video
Thanks for doing this videos I learn a lot from you.
My pleasure man!
the holes in the e3's mantlet looks like eye lol
WOTB:
"hatch, lower plate fire at will!!"
Meanwhile me in my E3 being pennned 4 times in the cupola by a S Conq's premium apcr
The thing is, we have to be able to hit what we aim for ...
And there's a little issue...

that t110e3s couploa is just downright stupid
Don't forget the one between my ears.
