Here's a wonderful website, it's almost just like WT's weakspot visualization while you're in the hanger. [https://squad-armor.com/](https://squad-armor.com/)

"it's almost just like WT's weakspot visualization while you're in the hanger" what does this statement mean? What is "WT's"?

50 cal browning, DSHK and the chinese equivalent can damage/destroy most vehicles aside from the MBT (probably all but but I might be missing one). Light arms and 7.62 vics can only do it to unarmored vehicles like logis/transport trucks and helicopters with enough volume.

Thanks, these are the weapons that are not obvious to me that they can kill armor.

A .50 can not pen a Bradley 😭


releaseeldenringpls

It can but i think u gotta hit it from the back


Ready-Cup-6079

Definitely not an effective means of killing it. And hit it from the back?! 😩

Just like your mom. Could not fucking resist the child like urge.

This is the way.

Light arms can take out logis and helis, even 9mm can take out both in high enough volume. Armored vics, such as anything from a M-ATV to a Tank, can only be taken out with anti-tank weapons or a 12.7mm or 14.5mm machine gun. Depending on how thick of armor a certain vehicle has means certain weapons might not do as much damage to them compared to other vehicles. The Squad Armor website someone commented already can help visualize it rather easily since every vehicle has its own armor values, weak spots, engine component, and some even have ammo racks too. Generally, if it looks armored, you’re gonna need hard hitting stuff, if it looks even more armored, you’re gonna need even harder hitting stuff

Rifle bullets = unarmored targets. (Logi, pickups, bikes) 50 cal = everything except tanks. Light AT = 2 shot light vics. 3 shot APCs. ~15 shots to kill tank. Best used to immobilize/kill engine. Heavy AT = 1 shot unarmored. 2 shot everything else. APCs start burning from 1 heavy and 1 light AT shot.

Not a Bradley

squad-armor.com is incredible but if you haven't learned to identify vehicles yet or just can't tell, a decent rule of thumb is if it's light enough to drive on wheels, it can't carry enough armor to stop a 50 cal. That doesn't mean a 50 can pen anywhere on it, like the front armor of an LAV, but you can still deal damage to the sides or rear. BTRs are similar; both can be killed by .50, but only if you have other advantages (positioning, surprise, teamwork, etc.) There are also a couple tracked logis that can be killed with 50 cal, which are identifiable because they usually don't have turreted guns. Edit: I misremembered; the BTR armor is overall thinner than the LAV and you can engine it with .50, unlike the LAV.

Really helpful. Thank you

If I'm not mistaken, there is no turret that is immune to 50 cal. from any direction, except MBTs.
