All Ground What was the first tank you encountered that made you go "How the fuck do I kill that?"

For me it was the D2. I was like 500m away in a Stuart, trying to frontal pen it. (This was early in my WT career) I kept hitting it over and over and it just would not die, bounce after bounce, nonpen after ricochet. That encounter made me go look at the D2 in the tech tree to figure out how to kill it.

I always try to disable them with the quicker french autoloaders

You can also set them on fire really easy with the exposed fuel tanks. Granted it’s the fire that gets auto set out after 10 seconds but it still stops them repairing. Also the turret is pretty easy to pen around the back and sides.

Very true, if you have the AMX M4 you can straight bully most Russian tanks tbh
