A good spot i found for the King Tiger is to aim at the back third of the turret where the ready rack is a great place to shoot you can even pen it with the 6 pounder on the Churchill and it always goes boom
Nice to hear, it might be that this one will be outdated too when the armor overhaul hits. But who knows, maybe this ammoracking thing doesn't change all that much?
It really bothers me how the damage model works in this game now. I play a lot of War Thunder, and I mean A LOT and also a little IL-2 Tank Crew. I had an instance in Post Scriptum where a M18 Hellcat was flanking my crew in our Panther tank. We hit the Hellcat with an APCBC round right on the side of the tank hull as it's crossing the road. It disappears into the bushes. We start getting hit by AT infantry and we're immobilized, our engine is out. Now the Hellcat comes out of the bushes as it seeks the opportunity since we're immobile. It has to go up a little hill to get on the road where our tank is. The VERY lower hull of their tank is now exposed, and I put a second round in. They survive the 2nd shot where in ANY other game that shot would have mean certain death !! NOW, the Hellcat is on the road again and hugging and scraping our side while traversing it's turret to shoot our side. It shoots one round in our turret instead of our side (Weak spot of the Panther is the face turret, only 100 mm thick.) Guess what... we take the hit with NO ISSUE when we shouldn't have. Technically, I should have died and so should have the commander. The Hellcat has a great gun that has plenty of penetration. Instead, we shrug it off with no damage, and I then put the third round into the turret of the Hellcat and it FINALLY it blows up. After three CRITICAL shots, (technically any shot would be critical since M18's have no armor to withstand tank rounds), the Hellcat is now dead... In War Thunder, the first side shot would have blown the tank to pieces with the Panther's 75 mm gun. Ok, Hellcat gets lucky and lives the 1st shot, whatever. NOW, the 2nd shot shooting the tank underneath while his gun is pointing towards the sky, and the tank STILL is operational AND driving afterwards is just plain pathetic... I heard that the devs balance tank gameplay with the current damage model by making 1 shot kills very rare, and I find that completely idiotic. You have infantry gameplay where one round from a rifle can put ya down but when a tank round from a German 75 mm or 88 mm goes through your side, rear, or even underneath the tank (while your climbing over a ditch or hill), you live apparently. Wow, how realistic is that balancing. I mean hell, AT infantry is more of a concern than actual tanks in this game. At this point, it's better to play Battlefield for tanks with "balancing." I wish the devs would have kept the old damage model where armor, mobility, and armament was in actual consideration. Now, an M18 Hellcat can take 3 critical shots from a Panther. 10/10 tank realism
I agree that currently the tank damage system is off. Your example shows it to great extent. They are working on the armor system though, in the roadmap there is actually a separate mention of armor rework, so I'm pretty sure we'll get an update one day containing improvements: cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31533869/999e7864bc54423696d567e59abe728d126849a2.png
Yeah man, I prefer the old way. I was never even upset when I got one shot in the old way because it was historically accurate. And it was great getting one shots on enemy tanks. They just need to put it back to the old way, and make it so there are more available tanks in game.
@@Joe-sc8fu Oneshot yeah, not so sure about the number of tanks. More tanks means less infantry, or do you mean more tanks in the roster to choose from but same number of armor squads?
@@Slayer1976games If tanks were one shot, and since there are a limited number of tanks per round. It might be best to up the number of tanks. Not up the amount of tank crews just the number of available tanks since they would be less survivable.
@@Joe-sc8fu ah yeah I see. I agree but it should not be too high or crews will just waste their tanks because they have so many they will never run out.
This game have a awesome tanks and explosions,but... 1.Why stuart explodes like a king tiger. 2.Why character don't dies being 10m at so large explosion.
Tanks are gonna get an overhaul, the devs are working on it rn, next update will change several things about the tanks and maybe the explosions will be less similar to each other. Atm you already die when you are close the the tank firing and afaik you can also die from the explosion, the radius isn't very big though. Too big a range would be frustrating too, knowing you can only take out a tank in some kind of suicide mission
Is there any indicator for when you ammorack a tank vs when you destroy the tank normally with a last hit? Like different explosion animatiion or sound or something?
The AT rifles are pretty useless against armor. Irl they were meant to be able to destroy lightly armored vehicles like the Panzer I and II and of course softskinned vehicles like trucks. Ingame you can kill those vehicles too. At the moment the PG team is working on an armor overhaul, so any comment on how AT rifles interact with armor might be obsolete soon as they are gonna change a whole lot when it comes to armored warfare in PS.
I don't know, I haven't checked it out after the update yet. What I do know is that taking out two or more components (engine, ammo, etc) is equal to ammoracking.
You mean Hafthohlladung etc? They do damage yes, but I haven't seen a satchel, a 3kg charge or a Hafthohlladung ever kill a tank in one go. They can slow the tank down so it's easier to kill it.
@@postfiregamergamer6235 the Geballte Ladung 1 kg is a bundle of grenades strapped together and iirc you can only have that in your kit in Chapter 2 maps. In my experience it does next to nothing to French tanks. There is also a Geballte Ladung 3kg, which can blow up pontoon bridges and FOBs, it damages tanks heavily but I have never seen a tank being 1s1k with it
I just received a message today on Discord that it's on the side between the third and the fourth roadwheel (if the front roadwheel is the first) and the wheels above those. Haven't tested it myself but looks promising.
You're welcome and thanks for subbing/liking! Don't worry about the long list, I'm not gonna check on you if you have watched them all 😂 Just pick what you like and share with your friends 👍
Getting 1 shot in a tank is the single most depressing thing in this game, damn you!
Only for the tankers 😉
@@Slayer1976games let me just spend 15 mins driving this king tiger to the front...oh wait im dead :(
@@irmollaar I feel your pain, but as long as it's not logi mining the exits of your base, it's fair game imo.
Wow, good thinking. PS needs more content like this, people like it but the vehicles confuse new players.
Thanks man! I'm not a pro at PS but I thought this might come in handy

In one shot? Thanks for the tip!
Great video! I see some people don't like long lists, the complete coverage of a feature/aspect of a game is always the best!
Thanks man, use it to your advantage!
Love the video...I'm making a list with pictures to have with me when I get close so I don't forget
Thanks! Nice to see it made to be useful 😃
I was looking for a guide like this for a while but most of them are outdated thank you so much

Is there any indicator for when you ammorack a tank vs when you destroy the tank normally with a last hit? Like different explosion animatiion or sound or something?
Also can you ammo rack a tank with a magnetic mine placed at the right spot?
No, I don't think so. It's just the fact you only need one shot to do it.
@@gonavygonavy1193 Not sure, never tried that
Is this still viable after the new Armored update?
Partially, as the components will still get hurt by hitting them
Is there any way to kill tanks with the anti tank rifles? It seems literally impossible.
