how to destroy tanks

[marybiggles]

hi i only started playing the other day but im totally fed up of the fact that i can hit an enemy tank twice either with artilery or my tank, and then he moves his tank gun at me and wipes me out with one blast

my teamate said `aim for the hull` which i assume is the top of the tank, but that still didnt wipe out the tank!

please can somebody help where exactly am i aiming at to get a good chance of one hit disabling an enemy tank

thanks

Ignore that teammate. Try to aim at the side of the tank(just above it's tracks) 2nd best thing: Aim at the area where the tank gun joins its turret.

can you or somebody do a screenshot and point to it?
thanks

I'm actually not sure how to upload pictures, sorry. Atiming anywhere on a tanks turrent with a gun of 50mm or more will usually score a kill.

SO WHERE
would you recommend
for a good chance of one shot disabling the tank
to aim at

your saying the turret/gun area

other guy said the tracks

!

i usually aim my artilery at the middle of the tank and it never stops it the first shot

im not trying to be awkward, its just i have a good internet connection so it isnt lag, but whenever i fire artilery or my tank at another tank, it takes maybe 3 shots to wipe it out, and usualy the other tank attacks me and wipes me out first

I play single player only.
I notice when a game loads there are game hints.
One of those hints is about disabling / destroying tanks.
Look for that.
These hints I about destroying armor I found in the manual on pages 22 and 23 (page 13 of the PDF manual)

The weakest points of a tank are the rear, the tracks, the turret sides, and the top parts like the roof if aiming down at a tank.
The front is usually the strongest.

Also make sure you are using the amour piercing AP shells and not the high explosive HE shells when shooting at tanks.
