To date, the game World of Tanks can already be called the most multiplayer. It is played by over 85 million players worldwide. The variety and realism of heavy vehicles makes it difficult for players to penetrate their armored hull. To successfully defeat the enemy, you need to know where to shoot in order to inflict maximum damage on him or immobilize him.
There are five main types of vehicles in the WoT game. These are light, medium and heavy tanks, tank destroyers, as well as the self-propelled guns themselves. All vehicles differ in the thickness of the armor, the angle of its inclination and the location of this armor relative to the tank's hull. The thicker the armor of a tank, the better it will withstand a direct hit from a projectile and the less chance of penetrating that tank and damaging its modules. The angle of inclination of the armor is of great importance. The greater the angle of inclination of the armor relative to the vertical of the tank, the more there will be ricochets from shells hitting it.
The weakest point of tanks is all kinds of hatches and superstructures. For most tanks, the turret is the most armored place. Therefore, shooting directly into the turret of a tank is often simply pointless. If the tank is behind cover and only its turret is visible, it is best to shoot at the so-called "gun mask". This is the space around the barrel in which it rotates. For many heavy tanks, the gun mantlet is almost the only weak point in the turret.
Punching all kinds of hatches, you damage tank modules and injure the crew. This slows down the enemy significantly. When a driver-mechanic is injured, the speed of movement of the tank slows down, and when the gunner is injured, the aiming speed slows down and the spread of shells increases when firing. In a duel battle, such damage will give you a huge advantage.
Also, the weak point of the tanks is their undercarriage - the caterpillar. When a tank is knocked out, it remains stationary for a while and is not able to hide from you behind an obstacle. If you have a quick enough reloading time, you can continue to try to pierce its tracks. Also, an immobilized tank will be a good target for allied artillery, which does much more damage than any tank.
Another weak point for tanks is its rear. In the rear is the engine, fuel tanks, and many tanks also store ammunition. The armor in the rear of the tank is not as thick as in the front, so it is easier to penetrate. Penetration of the rear of the tank often leads to its fire. The tank burns for only a few seconds, and if the crew does not have a fire extinguisher, then only a charred skeleton will remain of it.
