Thank you buscoo for all the help making this video!

I appreciate the time it took to wait for the fuel to call in the tanks and then drive them to the location and set them up like that

I'm so grateful that most of the AT-Guys still don't know, that you can destroy a Sherman at the front. 👍🏻

I was playing AT earlier today as a German and I was trying so hard to get on the side of a Sherman because I was sure I couldn't pen it otherwise 😂 Well, glad this came out and I know now, already sharing it with my HLL buddies

Just getting into tanking this video helps ALOT as all the other tank video's were over a year old. Keep up the great work Mono thank you for all your time and effort in making these videos!

Let's be honest, the whole tank damage system is outdated af.

The PTRS has its drawbacks but I believe it reloads from regular ammo, so it's much easier to keep up a sustained hail of antitank rifle fire from the team.

I really needed this. Thanks for putting out a more updated Anti tank guide. Keep up the good work.

I didn't initially know either that the game made a difference between Panzerschreck and Bazooka, but at least it's somewhat accurate. After all the Panzerschreck was the improved version of the Panzerfaust (both in terms of handling/ergonomics, as well as range, penetration, etc). The bazooka was pretty bad, actually. They still used some of the leftover WW2 ones* in Korea, but had to replace them quite quickly when they came upon T-34s and could do nothing but watch their charges bounce off or do minimal damage. So they brought in the so called "Super Bazooka" aka the 3.5" bazooka. *M9/M9A1 Bazooka with M6A3 rockets, which was the 2.36" ON PAPER it was supposed to be able to penetrate the T-34 even at a 60 degree angle, but in practice it proved insufficient in doing so, whereas even the Panzerfaust could knock out T-34s albeit at rather low range (those 150 or more meter shots you see in HLL are beyond ridiculous, the real effective range on ie the Panzerfaust and Panzerschreck was somewhere between 35 to 60 meters for the Panzerfaust [roughly 80 meters MAXIMUM for a VERY experienced handler] and an absolute MAXIMUM EFFECTIVE range of about 150 meters for the Panzerschreck, again with a VERY effective handler so much less in real life; obviously this would be LESS for the Bazooka [it's maximum FIRING range was around 400 yards which is roughly 360 or so meters, but that's not EFFECTIVE range by any means.. ie an assault rifle's effective range is somewhere around 300 meters but it's max firing range is roughly 2700 meters [using the Steyr AUG as an example which uses 5.56 NATO] for reference... and a bullet travels a lot faster than a low velocity rocket like that, and on top of that you had to relocate FAST, because there was so much smoke from firing your position was immediately compromised). Therefore they introduced the so called "super bazooka" which could take out they T-34 & T-34 85 frontally at any angle. Hence it makes more sense that the bazooka is more likely to bounce ie frontally on a medium and barely does damage to heavies from the side even if it pens.

Extremely helpful video, thank you! I read most of the tank bible 2 days ago and its also very helpful.

-AT mines are strange. A Puma drove over a mine and it didn't blow up, only destroying the "tracks". -Angling sometimes doesn't work and somtimes it does. -If the turret is under repair and gets hit again and again in the turret, you can't kill the tank -Don't place sachels on the tracks, somtimes it will only destroy the tracks and not the hull (maybe already fixed) -Scout tanks sometimes survive 2 hits in the hull with any gun (dont' know why)

Great video Mono, super helpful!

Love the mass effect music in the background, what a classic

Thought I was going crazy hearing Mass Effect Music. Thanks for making these tips! Loving the content, subbing now!

Hey I just wanna say congrats on being the one and only anti tank video before a bunch of shorts on the new KZfaq layout

They really need to let people rotate the AT gun 360°, as well as move it forward and back (very slowly... and possibly requiring two people to move.)

As someone who has played ww2 games with really realistic tank ballistics and handling, tanks in this game feel like a weird mix between realism and weird arbitrary jankiness. The tank armor values are reasonably realistic, but things like speed and turret turning are artificially slowed down for some reason. The lack of destruction is a big point. You can phase through small stone fences, but you can't go through stone walls? dafuq?

They really have to change this penetration system…I would love a war thunder style damage system + being able to kill the crew with Russian AT guns…you know the point of an AT gun

"Making a video explaining how to stop us, only proves how unstoppable we are" - Rabbit_In_A_Tank *que Doom music*

ahh so many good tips here! thank you!

A brief mention about which troop roles have access to the various anti-tank weapons would have been helpful.

that theline guide is my bible! great vid

With satchels and tanks they can defuse them if you don't keep a long range sneaky overview

Good for new tankers. For experienced tankers. Look up individual armor values for each piece. As bouncing a round is death for a tank.

This is the first time I've watched a Mono video and not learned something. Maybe I should switch off after 110 levels of almost entirely AT... Nah. Tank go boom.

You can destroy a tank by hitting tracks as long as the round can pen the side hull and there is hull behind the part of the tracks you are hitting. It will add an extra shot to kill over hitting only the side hull.

''Panzerschreck'' means ''tank fright''. In this game it lives up to its name.

Definitely useful, but a bit more of a review on the different tank types (that people could skip) would be useful. I have 100+ hours and can barely tell a heavy from a medium, especially at a distance, much less differences between tanks of the same class. Usually when you're dealing with them you're on foot and just trying not to die.

The Mass Effect music is my favourite part of the video

Also don't forget that if you hit fuel canisters or other garbage on the back of Sherman Jumbo your shot will not be registred, it is true at least for the Panzershreck.

Great video bruvvv

I'm a real man. I choose to satchel charge the tank as an engineer.

What do the numbers mean on the tank gunners reticle and how do you use them for accurate shots with range and elevation?

As a war thunder vet of about 5 years i decided to try tanks after 15 hrs of hell let loose, recons are fun solo but one shot sucks. so i took a pnzer 4 and went to support the front line and spotted an IS 1. so i did the logical thing and shot its week spots 5 time and it slowly just drove away.. i was upset but thought i killed it on the last shot. then 10 mins later another IS 1 was harassing the front line about 400m away on a hill. I died about 3 seconds after setting up becuse tanks... i have no clue prob got flanked by my own inf lol

Well they could learn from war thunder and post scriptum. Remembered my first time in hll when I was used to post scriptum. Talk about disapointment not being able to pen the jumbo from the front with a panzer schreck.

Good Video. Especially for all the noobies, who joined the game recently.

huh didnt know that about the panzershreik, but it makes sense lore wise, but good to know makes up for the bad sight on it

Love you

Nostalgic Mass Effect music 👍

I always had a feeling that the German AT was way better that the US AT

appreciated

It's monooo tiiiiime

Bro the Luchs cannot penetrate anything, I wish I knew that before I rolled up behind an enemy tank

I am so trash at tank killing. I'm a 300+ hr / level 100+ player and I just got the achievement for killing 20 vehicles last week.

There are so many tanks missing from ww2 in this game. Are they going to be adding more?

Gracias

An in-game tutorial and training map with range (like squad) is soooo overdue😅

PTRS needs a small buff for tanks nothing huge just small like if you hit the right spot where the driver would be it should kill the driver

Did you use the mass effect theme for this video? 👌🏾

How did you do that you play alone and spawn al the tanks in

I miss the old Armour system where you could one shot tank from side and back. Good old days

track shot! * continues to shoot a wheel...

Hey I have a question. Your background music sounds like the mass effect galaxy map music am I right?

SO I was on Kursk and had alot of bounces. My panzer 4 vs t34. Yes I understand the angled mechanic but I'm afraid a recent update has made t34s overpowered against panzer 4s. Panther had no issues. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Or is it in my head?

so lux and panther are really the only german options?

Who noticed the Mass Effect soundtrack at 1:19 😂😂💯

*Sees tank in open field* *Throws smoke and pulls out hammer* *Smoke clears and an AT gun appeared out of thin air* *Destroy tank* *Refuse to Elaborate*

The bazooka was a much more capable than people think. The original bazookas were designed to launch projectiles that were able penetrate 100mm (actual penetration were closer to 114mm). The fact that a luchs cannot be penetrated frontally is stupid, even the pz4 is ridiculous. It could penetrate a tiger but the target area would be smaller and the side is a much larger area to hit and able to hit ammo. Also being in front of a tank is not good if you plan to live a long life. Side note: The side skirts offered very little protection against the shapes charge, as they were spaced far enough out. the jet will still penetrate close to the maximum penetration. The true effective range of these weapons were 100yards (anything farther takes to long to reach as the rocket travels about 80 yards a second. However by the end of the war it was becoming outdated. While the early rockets were changed from a sharp nose to being more blunt to lower the chances of deflection the impact fuse still caused issues (Korea). Angled armor would not allow the impact fuse to be crushed and will bounce. If the soldier was aware of this then they would hit any flat armor.

If you place an AT mine, then you die a minute or so later, then you respawn, will your previously placed AT mine disappear that you placed in your previous life?

I love the M1 Garand and I love playing At but if I do it on American side I get the Garand and a crappy bazooka and if I play on the German side I get a good At weapon but the horrible German main weapon x.X I'm screwed

Where is the part that shows how to line up shots with the sight. My panzershreck is coming up short each time

Still don't understand why the bazooka still only has 2 shots. Needs to be bumped to 4 or even 3. So annoying

So is the AT gun considered a heavy gun then?

Need more rockets for anti tank class

Tictak best AT

Paper Tank Sherman German AT no Problem on Front . Not in this Game LOL 150-220 MM 90 Grad .

So, since the Panzerschrek has been confirmed to be much more powerful than the Bazooka, can the Bazooka get more rockets to compensate?

The part with super light armor is not that precise. Luchs cannot kill medium or heavy even from the back.

you f*cker you're using the mass effect uncharted worlds music T_T now i gotta play it again

Is that music from Mass effect?

the shrek having medium pen has been in the game for at least 4 updates, kinda surprised they kept the bazooka at 2 shots given the massive advantage the shrek has.

Something that tankers will be happy about edit: By happy i mean how they can be killed? I dont know if that's a happy statement to make

I still love ME music

so the german light tank CAN destroy a medium?

How do you know if all your mines have been blown up or not

usually I don't get a chance to pick anti tank and instead I use engineer a lot so armor is irrelevant in my case

@monoespacial, information at the tankbible is incorrect. 2.5 Muzzle Brake is flat out wrong, despite having pointed it out to them they refuse to correct it. I would not recommend that page.

i know they're going for realism in this game but god i wish the factions were more balanced

The stew is superior

I still dont get why console players only get two rockets after spawning… Of course it could help improving teamwork with someone supporting but since pc players get 3 rockets, its a bummer. Btw good presentation mono!

The 76 Sherman has the jumbo turret on it. 😐 75 and 76 shermans have the same hull irl, but for some reason they put more armor on 76... Shooting at the mantlet of a panther doesnt do anything? Cmon devs at least get SOMETHING right. This game needs an armor and penetration rework asap.

UN-NERF MY AT GUN YOU SUNZABYTCHEZ

Well, the panzerschrek is the improved version of the bazooka so obviously it should better. What bothers me more is that the bazooka never seems to ricochet. And that is not realistic at all. Bazooka´s were very inneffective in world war 2. Only accurate up to 30 meters. And then you had the problem of ricochet.

In practice, this anti-tank thing is nonsensical. I've been in a sherman that survived a dozen panzershrecks, and I've put 4 bazooka rockets into the ass of a luchs with no effect. Also, what about the one-shot kills on American tanks between the tracks from the front?

I wish the armor system was similar to war thunder / post scriptum instead of this cookie cutter system

So u cant really do shit agains tanks in a light tank? i remember playing as thank crew al the time with my buddys, if u had the right position and aim we could easyly destroy a medium or heavy tank, now they changed the damage of light tans so u just a bigger target to medium or heavy tanks. Everybody knows u cant do shit whit light and medium tanks anymore so they want the heavy tank. Without two more working tanks that can destroy every kind of other tank if thepositioning is right, a ww2 realistic game does not count as an realistic ww2 shooter in my opinion. Why did they changed it? nobody complained about it, being able to carry the whole team only using a medium Tank is way more realistic for me. We had a situation where whe sneaked our way around a heavy sherman with a Puma i shot like 1 shot in the turret so it turns around slowly, and about 5 more right in the back (AP ammo) After trying to back off because the enemy tank did not explode and the turred was about to look our direktion we got stuck on a fence and died one shot. it wasnd even far away, just about 30m so im pretty shure i was hitting the right spot. After that we decided to play medium or heavy only but u need to hit a heavy tanks side with medium 2-3 times. and heavy for medium oneshot in front. Never played again because we loved playing Tank crew, now its pretty much a pain in the ass.

You are very wrong about they anti tank gun. They take more then 3 shots to kill a heavy. More l8ke 6

As it is tank gameplay is broken. ATs attacks you like rats. They fire two rockets die and in 10 seconds fire twice again. Then you have AT guns wich are super hard to spot and with high rof, satchels, mines and other tanks. No one fears heavy... everyone actually runs towards it. Ow...and you better play heavy because the rest of the tanks die even faster and just burn the fuel.

Personally I think it's a bad decision to prefer kind of historical accuracy over balance. Why is us anti tank weaker? And why don't they at least give them more ammo to compensate that? I have the same issue with the kar vs garand as default rifle. While over might argue that the kar has upsides and might be different but stronger in some situations, giving the anti tank weaker rockets is just unbalanced. I don't know if they maybe have a better firing arc like more rocket speed, less drop or something making them better than the schreck, but even if, it does not outweigh the weakness. Well and then take the soviet anti tank. Again historically accurate, but horrible in the sense of balance.

This system is such a joke compared to Post Scriptum lmao

Errors in this video: 1) satchels can only destroy Heavy tanks when placed right on the tank, if you place it on the ground/on a wall close to it and inside the blast radius you will not destroy the tank. 2) Panther doesn't have medium armor on the sides, it's heavy armor just like a Tiger.

Tanks are broken an need a nerf u shouldn't b able to repair strength of tank in field only tracks an engine an should have to return to spawn to repair the strenght/armour level an they need to add hit boxes for fuel tanks and ammo racks to reward good shots on tanks Tanks are ridiculously over powered the way game is now enlisted has a good tank dmg system for rocket an at gun hits

Yeah this is all BS. It's completely random. I've bounced rounds from an AT gun on a panther while being in a panther and being 2 shotted by a US AT gun into the front armor. Then there's me in a light tank just soaking up 8 rocket hits while one shotting a light tank with my bazooka.

Just play war thunder guys
