Getting up to 15 hits a game and 1 kill. M4A5. easily being the worst offender. Side shots, weak spots= bounce.
What am i doing wrong?
M4A5 doesn’t have a great gun, apart from that, just learn weakspots, there’s not much else u can do

you appear to have been using HE
it didnt bounce it was HE
That’l do it lol.
This is how it goes in ground for me . All game every game.
yeah sherman stock AP is imo one of the worst rounds in the game so theres not a whole lot you can do about that till you get the aphe
idk if your a new player, but ill give u a tip: lern your tank. Itsimportant you know what your tank is for. lern about your enemy weakspots. During my grind in america as a newbie, i learn evry german tank waekspots. know ur round. Know how much tnt, pen. then, just play play play. Practise makes perfect.
Think Im going to just buy a premium.
Got 4 nations to rank 4 and have the same problem with varying degrees. Doesnt seem to matter what round Im using, every game plays out like the 2 mins i took that footage from. Im just bad lol, need something that slaps harder.
Iv played for like 2 weeks (played a very small amount a year ago) Might not make it another 2 lol
its imporatnt that you grind a good nation. New players should focus on these 3 nations: Usa, germany or USSSR. they have in evry br good tanks. if you grind one nation to the top, then 1) u become a pro, 2) u know how to play in evry br, and 3) u can grind any nation. U just need to lern, play alot, and know ur enemy weakspots, know were to go in maps.
sounds like you just need more experience to be honest
Iv started 4 nations and while GB easily feels the worst. The rest are not exactly doing me much better so its a hard choice XD
I see why people just go straight to TT ruski
Yeah its never really a good starting nation
The big 3 exist for a reason
All rounders USA
good guns and later armour too Germany
good armour and mobility USSR
Yes. MB.
But Its not even a rare case. I play many vics around 3.7 and fire at weak spot= hit.
Using AP rounds its the same…not sure what more I can do.
Im not even cherry picking. it cant kill anything lol
Game before- big tank so more fair it sponges. But 2 weeks of this vs all. Kind of feels like the definition of insanity at this point.
This tank is slow. Cant kill 2.7 tin can armour tank. Most hits it takes = pass out crew. It has a stabilizer which is nice so I can hit more stuff that doesn’t die XD
Hello friend 🙂 I would strongly recommend that you purchase premium account time rather than just buying a premium vehicle. Premium vehicles are nice, HOWEVER, you will skip over a lot of the lower level vehicles where you will gain valuable experience. You will learn the game much more thoroughly and have a much better experience overall if you take your time and grind through the tech trees rather than skipping far ahead with a premium vehicle.
Premium time gives you Research Point and Silver Lion bonuses no mater which vehicle you use, but a Premium Vehicle only gives you bonuses when you play that one vehicle.
Premium Time/Account goes on sale 50% off twice a year. I would highly suggest buying either 180 days or 365 days when it goes on sale. You can get 180 days of premium account on the online store for $20 when it goes on sale. Very reasonable imo, when many “AAA” games cost much more per expansion/per year.
Premium time link to webstore: Gaijin.Net Store - Premium account for 180 days
It is not on sale right now, but again I would very very strongly recommend premium time versus skipping ahead with a premium vehicle. Many premium vehicles go on sale throughout the year as well, so if you still wanted a premium vehicle later you could wait for a sale. Premium Account and Premium Vehicles DO stack/add up together, so it is fine/good to use both if you want.
Just remember that this game is over 10 years old now, so you are effectively playing a game with “10+ expansions”. There is no need to rush. Many of us long time players end up enjoying the lower/middle Ranks more than the “top tier” stuff anyway. Figure out what you enjoy. Enjoy the grind. It might take you months or even years to get to “top tier” and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that 👍
Loaded HE
Thanks for advice. I already got premium account as iv ground to TT air in all bar 3 nations :)
Recently started ground. In air theres some bad matchups but nothing like this!
The “again” vid i posted being smoked by a 2.7 BR stuart says it all.
I was going to buy a premium tank to skip the pain of low tier solid shot but I can already smell whats up. Looking at the jumbo sherman I just opened at 5.7 with its 100 pen or whatever vs tigers and friends- I think Il be best finding a new hobby.
i take the blame for that one. The other 3 vids are just sponge and getting slapped by 2.7 BR tanks
these american mains dont know anything about gundeppresion and slow and paper armor, im jealous
