A good rule of thumb when fighting these tanks: if you can avoid being hit, do so quickly your armour will not save you. The HEATFS shell in question can penetrate 480 mm of armour. Almost all of the Taran users will choose that shell instead of the HEATFS it packs simply because of the shell velocity. The drawback of the Object is its lack of gun depression and armour that even. It possesses a shell that presents 405 mm of penetration APFSDS with 1,710 m/s shell. Remember: they can penetrate you regardless of angling or range.Īnother enemy at an uptier to worry about is the Object 120. If at all possible, do not engage Leopards at long range without doing it smartly. The Leopards also packs a DM12 HEATFS round which can tear through 400 mm of armour with ease with 1,173 m/s shell velocity. The round can still penetrate 257 mm of armour at 1,500 m, which is still very easy against your turret shield. With its DM13 APDS round that can penetrate 303 mm of armour straight up, life is not easy against it. The Leopard I is everything you are not: fast, stealthy, good rate of fire and a punchy good gun at any range. When you're fighting in an uptier (which can happen quite frequently), your enemies as previously mentioned stay the same except for more prevalent Rank V vehicles like the Leopard I. It gets the same gun as the T-44, but with better shells, utilizing a strong HEATFS round on a turreted, fast light tank. One more tank you must be aware of that most people forget about is the Type-62. The HEATFS shell it packs penetrates 300 mm of armour, making your armour more often than not obsolete against it. When engaging the Soviets at long range, the ASU-85 will be your most dangerous enemy at your own BR. Most of these tanks (except for the Sturer Emil) can fire APCR at you and penetrate if they are good shots and hit your gun shield. Specific enemies worth noting when fighting the Germans at your BR are Waffenträger, Tiger II (P) and (H) models, Nashorn, the Jagdpanthers, and even the Sturer Emil with its 230 mm of penetration with its monstrous 128 mm armament. The flat turret face can put you at a disadvantage most of the time. Their shot rounds will break your gun breech quickly, but if you play well the T34's armour will hold up.Īt long range, tanks with the long 88 mm guns will only be able to penetrate with the APCR at you, which in effect makes your upper hull armour very good, since APCR does not fare well against slopes. The AMX-50 and Lorraine 40t with their magazine systems will shred your armour given if they have the time to aim properly. Another country which catches most people off guard is France. (The ASU-85) does get a HEATFS shell which defeats your armour most of the time, more on that below.) The tanks mentioned above can be dealt with against with relative ease at medium range with the 120 mm cannon. The same can be applied to the ISU variants. These 100 mm shells will not struggle too much against your hull or turret, at least at close range. The Soviets also have a few cannons that can be effective against the T34, be on the lookout for tanks which utilize the 100 mm, such as the T-44-100, SU-100P, or SU-100. There is also the threat of the occasional Ru 251, which packs a 320 mm penetration HEATFS shell. This includes the Waffentrager, Tiger II (P) and (H) models, the Nashorn, the Ferdinand, and the Jagdpanthers. If you're fighting tanks of your own BR or lower, the German long 88 mm guns (whether it be PaK or KwK guns) will be able to contest your armour at close range if used well. The T34 is a very strong tank and few tanks have the guns to take it out effectively from the battlefield. Main article: M2HB (12.7 mm) 12.7 mm M2HB
