Weak spots on Tanks/APCs?

[Baseline]

So, I've just finished my expert pilot, and I'm feeling like digging into tanks/apc's now. I played tanks a lot in '42, and usually the treads or the backs of the tanks were the weakest there (and on the russian tanks it was the top).

Well, I spent about an hour on a small karkand game, and one person who was obviously more knowledgable about soft spots on the abrams than I am, consistently killed me with what was usually two shots, while I was needing 3 or 4 against the MEC tank.

So, I'm trying to find out what the weak spots are on the Tanks/APC's. Are the weak spots universal? Or do the different tanks/apc's have different weak spots? Is there a 1-shot or 2-shot spot?

There is basically 2 places on the tanks where there is a weakspot, that is slightly in front of the turret and to teh left or right, easiest on the abrams probably. AT kits can't use them, only tank guns can i'm pretty sure. Just use basic math and figure the approximate angle, if you shot it right, it will ricochet off of the armor on the hull, and hit again on the part inbetween the turret and the hull, which is very powerful, if you are just slightly off, you will cause a lot of damage, but not a 1 shot kill, anyways, for AT kit, aim for tracks.

anyways, for AT kit, aim for tracks.

At the very front.. e.g the tanks probably looking at you.

In real life, the only extremely weak spot is the gas tanks.

I'm going to have to remember that next time

Re: Weak spots on Tanks/APCs?

And the front is the strongest, I wonder why its weaker than the back in the game?

u can kill a tank by two shots in front tracks or by one shot where it richochets from armor again in the armor(But U need to practice it a lot cause it s realy hard and almost unbelievable Tank2Tank combat in pub server)>>>Visit that hitpoint link

Unless they are protected, anyways, the top of th eturret is always gonna be a weakspot. Tha'ts why all the new AT missiles (liek the javelin) are top attack. BTW, THe predator in real life is a top attack 1 hit 1 kill missile, but for obvious reasons they had to nerf it for ingame lol.

Re: Weak spots on Tanks/APCs?

Re: Weak spots on Tanks/APCs?

BTW, top attack isn't good in BF2 though, still need 3 rockets to kill from above.

Re: Weak spots on Tanks/APCs?

For APC's (especially the PLA ones) i've found the turret to be a good place to hit. I've only gotten that 1 hit tank kill like twice but by the second shot the're dead.

Re: Weak spots on Tanks/APCs?

the most weakest spots are on the very front tracks it kills them in 2 hits and the t-90 1 hit with tow if u hit the front tracks

At the very front.. e.g the tanks probably looking at you.

exactly what i said
