and if your using a 75mm like sherman or something just shoot cheeks its only like 70mm

I put it at 2000m for the shot you’d actually aim. At close range, as I said, you can just shoot center mass.
Much further than you’ll ever shoot a Panther from.
I clearly showed that at 2000m it’d still go through.
What? I can’t understand your broken english.
More to show that the 76mm ALWAYS has enough penetration to pen the 30.02M. The turret face is only 80mm and the mantlet is just 100mm, both flat.
The side of the turret is incredibly bouncy because of volumetric. It’s only reliable within about 200m. The UFP is even more unreliable. The most consistent weakness is the apex of the right side of the mantlet where it is flat, but even then you have shot traps.
In effect, a skilled player will not treat the VK any differently than a Panther D/A

it was OP at 5.7 xD
acting like it wasn’t is absolutely shocking.
the shot youd aim? the very slide slit of the turret that is almost certainly going to bounce?
no you did not, you found the one pixed itll go through
thats it at 2000 meters, there is no way you are hitting that little spot

ive never bounced on it are you not hitting the middle ?
also your angled down and to the left
why are you engaging at 2000m anyways everyone knows germans have the best optics for ranged combat m4a1 76 m4a2 m4a3 are best used for CQC because of there good mobility and good turret traverse

Projection map shows it from teh front of the barrel.
Ancedotal evidence of “I’ve never hit it” is not statistically speaking of the tank in of itself.
To act like this is not under BR’d by even 0.3 is ridiculous.
hes the one that set it to 2KM i set at 1000KM as thats a roughly fair range for both.
Love when people try defend something under BR’d cause the goal posts move constantly
oh the sherman beats it in one very specific situation, that again, if the player of the VK is paying attention the sherman gets nuked as soon as it pops out.
Not the other way around.

How many maps offer 1000m shots? Almost all are close range ones.

I’ve hit those shots reliably from much further away. The Panther turret isn’t strong at all, just finnicky sometimes. You’ll also miss the spot you aimed for entirely, and then your shell lands in some other part where it slices straight through. This happened to me like… yesterday? In the Chi-Ri. I underestimated the range, missed the flat mantlet, and it hit the turret face below the mantlet. One shot kill.
It’s 80mm flat. That’s the same armor as a Pz IV.
You mean I shot in the exact spot I KNEW where it would pen, without even checking anywhere else in the protection analysis or using the protection map?
Why are you shooting at a Panther from 1100m away? I used 2000m to show that you can pen a Panther at ANY range.
ok so what about when som1 actually DOES pay attention?
Tanks should be balanced off the average player, not the worst player.

The difference is one can be done EASILY by a novice player, with no real way for enemies to fight back and the other actually takes some amount of skill.
