Battlefield 3: Tank Weak Spots

Battlefield 3: Tank Weak Spots

If you didn't know already, tanks have weak spots in Battlefield 3. i will be explaining where they are and how much damage anti-tank weapons do accordingly.

 RPG 

Front of the tank: 22 damage- 5 shots to destroy, not very effective.

Side of the tank: 36 damage- 3 shots to destroy, better than the front

Rear of the tank: 61 damage- instant disable, 2 shots to destroy, best way to destroy a tank using RPG

Tank vs Tank

Front: 24 damage- 5 shots to destroy

Side: 34 damage- 3 shots to destroy

Rear: 58 damage- 2 shots to destroy

As you can see tank damage is very similar to RPG damage

Mounted Missile Launchers (TOW/KORNET)

Front: 34 damage- 3 shots to destroy

Side: 49 damage- 2 shots will leave the tank at 2% health

Rear: 81 damage- instant disable, 2 shots to destroy

Attack Helicopter(Gunner)*

Front: 61 damage- disable

Side: 87 damage- disable

Rear: 100 damage- destroy 

*All 30 rounds

Attack Helicopter(Pilot)*

Front: 43 damage

Side: 43 damage

Rear: 43 damage

Tanks do not have weak spots to attack helicopter rockets

*7 rockets

Javelin

Front: 35 damage- 3 shots to destroy

Side: 35 damage- 3 shots to destroy

Rear: 35 damage- 3 shots to destroy

Javelins aren't affected by armor

C4

Front: 50 damage

Side: 50 damage

Rear: 50 damage

Anti-Tank Mines

Front/Side: 50 damage

    From this information you can see that with all weapons affected by armor, shooting at the back of the tank will do the most damage. So... 

*When in a tank always face the front towards the enemy

*When against a tank try to get a hit the back or side for a faster kill
