Try HE ammo. You've a good chance of at least doing some systems damage. Set them alight

are you sure it can do systems damage even if it doesn't penetrate?Originally Posted by PrivatePyle

I thought any type of ammo only does damage if it penetrates the armor - and HE have a reduced ability to penetrate armor.
For example I use HE on my tier 2 tank destroyer because all the other vehicles in the n00b mode battles can be penetrated even by HE shots from it's upgraded cannon - only the Bison deflects them sometimes from the front.
I use HE on my BT-7 as it has little hope penetrating anything and I've found I've caused track damage and other damage which I'm guessing was ammo racks or engine. Hard to tell exactly what you've damaged unfortunately. Track damage is quite obvious of course. I've seen some nice fires on the back of bigger tanks caused by me and I'm pretty sure that fires can cause turret ring damage also.
wow - thanks for the hint - I probably would never have found out by myself - will try it out.
Don't rely on auto aim (right click) either unless you are on the move which is when it comes in handy. It looks like it just aims for the centre of the enemy you are targeting which of course is not always the best place to hit them.
Guys don't forget to join mp.net channel in WOT " mp.net " Credits to Astaran.
tried to join yesterday but did not work ^^
Pz III now and using the stubby 7.5cm cannon and HE shells. Just had fun running rings around a KV whose tracks I'd knocked out.
A tip, don't waste gold on ammo. Either buy a premium account for a week or a month (click on, gold and there's a menu) this will give you 50% more credits and experience per round, well worth it. Or exchange for money 1gold=400 credits. Also play with 2 vehicles or more, so you don't have to wait when u get killed.
Just been having great fun with the PzIII Luchs. Once you get a decent engine and tracks its immense fun, can pretty much turn in about 4 of its own lengths while maintaining a decent speed. Instead of running circles around arty or a td you can quite literally just turn in circles behind them without ever needing to risk crossing the path of their gun
Also had a fun game on one of the open field maps where we had two Ferdinand's on our team. They were knocking out Tiger II's from afar, very impressive to watch.
How I roll in my pimped out medium Panzer
It will hit 60km/h and my crew are all about 80% so I get a good deal of hits while moving. I'm pretty screwed if someone takes out my tracks mind you.
yesterday I've decided to not further pursue the Soviet tank destroyer path - they simply have not enough armor - I'm now changing to heavy tanks (eventually) though I haven't even hit the medium tanks yet due to lack of money.
Though I think I'll still buy the next tank destroyer because it's still somewhat affordable.
I'll get premium account for 24 hours today I think - guess it's powerplay time today - maybe I'll manage to get a KV

I'm now on a tier 5 pzIII/IV. It's quite good fun detracking light tanks with 1 shot and seeing them skid to a halt and then taking them out with the next shot.
My tier 4 pzIII is great fun though. I usually use it to take out attacking lights who are after our arty and then counter with it. My gunner is now 90%
