![]() It is therefore almost useless to fire them at things like turret cupolas, as it will usually just fly right through them. It basically only deals damage to modules/crew straight in its path. However, don't expect it to cause any real damage upon penetration, its even worse than that of PzGr 40/1. Use it against heavily armoured tanks like KV-1 (If you can't flank them). PzGr 40 - Armour Piercing Composite Rigid shell - this variation of APCR is lighter, slightly faster and offers the best penetration.It should be used only at close range, at medium range, PzGr 40 is better. However, its damaging potential is much lower, because it has no explosive filler to further enhance damage after the penetration. PzGr 40/1 - Armour Piercing Composite Rigid shell - This type of ammo should be used if you are having trouble penetrating your opponent, or trying to hit a fast-moving tank at some distance.It also offers the best penetration at very long range (over 1500 m), combat at this range is however not recommended. It deals the most damage, because of its explosive filler. PzGr 39 - Armour Piercing Capped shell - This is your main ammo type, use it whenever you think it has enough penetration to penetrate your target.If you have powerful enough gun, you can try to outgun it from afar, where its own 5 cm gun will struggle with penetration. Sides and rear are very thin, if you can target these areas (even under quite a high angle), they are penetrable very easily. Panzer III L has pretty good frontal armour, but there are several weak spots - around the driver's viewport and machinegun port, and few small spots on the turret, where armour is only 50 mm thick and completely flat, aim there. Suspension wheels are 15 mm thick while tracks are 20 mm thick.The side and rear armour of the tank are thin, but it is possible to bounce shots from the side armour if it is angled steeply while side-scraping.However, don't allow anyone to freely fire there, as some unlucky shot fired there can still occasionally cause severe damage. The strong turret armour makes this tank powerful when hull-down, as many enemies will only be able to penetrate your cupola, only knocking out the commander.When the armour is angled, this tank becomes very strong frontally. It has 50 mm of armour at the front of the hull and 57 mm on the turret front, but there is an additional 20 mm plate on the upper hull and at the front of the turret, increasing the effective armour to 70 mm and 77 mm respectively.High hardness rolled armour (Appliqué armour).Nonetheless, the armour upgrade is insufficient for aggressive battle, and caution is still required, particularly against Soviet early T-34 medium tanks and early KV-1 heavy tanks. Frontal engagement with tanks that fire HEAT ammunition, such as the M4A3 (105) is easier because the 20 mm spaced armour limits the efficacy of the HEAT projectiles when attacked from the tank front. The Panzer III L's playstyle is essentially the same, however, players may appreciate the small upgrades in frontal protection. Introduced in the Closed Beta Test for Ground Forces before Update 1.41, the Panzer III L is armed with the same long-barrelled 50 Kampfwagenkanone (KwK) 39 mm L/60 tank gun as the preceding Panzer III J1, but it also has 20 mm spaced armour on the front of the turret and hull. Some older Panzer III variants also had it fitted in the field. The front of the turret and the hull of the latest production Panzer IV J tanks were fitted with 20 mm spaced armour plates. However, distinguishing the different variations based on the look of spaced armour on Panzer IIIs is not a viable method. It was also outfitted with a new system for transferring heated engine coolant to another vehicle. ![]() Both the turret and the frontal hull were outfitted with spaced armour. It is essentially a newly manufactured Panzer III based on Panzer III J1 standards, which was modified from existing Panzer III Js. 141/1) is the tenth variant of the Panzerkampfwagen III medium tank family (the "I" variant was skipped). The Panzerkampfwagen III Ausführung L (Panzer III L) ( Sd.Kfz.
