[2023] How do you kill the arl-44

Originally posted by GB: Lets say i have about 100mm of solid shot

Based on username, profile picture, and "solid shot", I'm going to guess something British, and something 2.7/3.0, fighting against a 3.7 ARL?

So like a 2pdr/6pdr on a Crusader?


If you --have-- to shoot at the front of it, your best bet is trying to hit the gun mantlet square (Immediately to the left/right of the gun barrel), or trying to sink one through the frontal hull plate as Lucky Star said.

Preferably, if you're in a smaller and more maneuverable tank, try to avoid the head-on confrontation to begin with (flank around the sides of the map/set up an ambush).

If you're shooting at the 5.3 version and have less than 100mm of penetration, your options become significantly worse. (A) Bust the barrel off, flank and kill from the side, (B) chance a shot right down the side of the barrel, where the mantlet is only ~70mm thick. Pray that the shot disables the breech and a few crewmembers.

If you have ~120mm of penetration or more, shoot the left (When ARL is facing you) turret cheek to take out the gunner/commander.
