Actually a tank does have a weakspot. Do some experimenting in Multiplayer Practice and look at the life boxes when you shoot at defferent places. Trust Me They Have Weak Points. Thumbs Up

Friendly Fire Should Be On.

This is what you do: Make sure that friendly fire is on on multiplayer practice, go to multiplayer practice, get 2 tanks, and shoot at different places and keep an eye at the life boxes, prefferably shoot at one place 2 times, then remember what place it was and remember how many boxes it took away. Then do it to another part. You can have more that 2 tanks so you can shoot at more that 2 things and compare them together.

Seriously people how can you fight a war on terrorism with all of your borders wide open!

Tanks do not have weak spots.

One possible explanation for what you're thinking about: some tanks (e.g. med, light, arty) do their damage in two separate portions. If the server isn't great sometimes you only register part of the full damage. With host advantage you always get full damage.

If you shoot in a certain position, It does no damage

I did a test on the weakspot thing. And what are my results?

THERE ARE NO WEAKSPOTS! I thought all along that there were weakspots. But each place shot at gives the same ammount of damage. Try it for your self, shoot a tank, get in it... check the health, repair it, and do it again.

omg omg try to shoot a rocket at that point
it flys right thru the tank as if its not even there
so if u turn the tank so that its side is facing enemy tanks nd u got a gunner nd hot behind it, it would be extremley destuctive nd incincible, ofcourse the gunner wont c where hes shooting, but could b useful at close range

these are the times when ur like why God WHY!!!???

Your correct about infantries and buildings but really for tanks your paying for more armor etc, like a arty if a havoc hits it say 5times it's dead with a light tank takes alot longer Satisfied
