I have done it.  You have to hit where the tread meets the "fender".  I saw it on  a hit chart and it works.

Hmm Fishy, I Can Do One Shot Tank Kills With The Rpg-7, Its All Placement, Practice, And Patience.  But Yes It Is Possible, I Played For 7 Hrs Alone In My Squad Server Practicing On An Empty Tank. So Yes It Is Possible. But You Can Call Me Cheater And Whatever Else You Want, It Dont Matter To Me I Know It Was A Clean Shot. So Muhahahaha I Can One Shot Kill Your Abrahms Tank And You Cant Lol

The back of the Abram is twice as vunerable as the front, so one TOW does have the potential to make a one-shot kill..did it myself and I for sure know I aint hackin

SHHHHH for the people that know about the one shot kill or 3/4 kill donttt tell em.  It is so much fun chasing down other tanks b/c you know you can kill it easily

Yep, and they also give out a HELL of a lot more punishment than the game depicts... Of course, it just wouldn't be fun to be hit with a DU round and insta-killed in the game, and it's a good thing it's the way it is.

What are you talking about?  Tank rounds?  It'd be more accurate to say they hit the armor with such great energy that the armor AND the penetrator are both instantly turned into molten bits of quickly moving metal, and that the inside of the cabin instantly goes to around 3000 degrees F, or so, killing everything inside in an instant...  Plus if the heat and the little bits of now burning metal didn't get 'em, the concussion surely did by compressing their skulls against their brains!

There is a way to get a one hit kill on a tank.   If the tank is at an angle and you hit it right below the turret infront of it on the top of the body and what happens is that the Round will hit that part and then deflect up and hit the turret killing the tank.    I have done it with a T-90 on the bridge at karkand and then Abrams was coming down the road.  ONE SHOT = ONE KILL. 

So, yes it can be done.   The Tow can hit the side of the tank and the turret and the treads and then back and still kill it with one shot. 


So, the answer to the lingering questions is YES!!!  One shot can kill a tank if it is placed right.

i was playing Karkand and i had the t-90 and i was going to the hotel to help out. along comes a LAV. he sees me stops. doesnt shoot his main gun at me, instead shoots the missile and as im tryin to back up, i get hit in the front and explode. happened about 2-3 times. now i know nothing else hit me cause i was at full health and i know those missiles dont do a hell of alot of damage. but 1 shot /missile=death?. it was like he had the damn tow mounted on his shit.
it kills if it is at front tracks

tank vs tank doesn't matter what tank it is, it's the same thing for each. pretty much if you hit the armor it glances off and richochets... so, easy principle you hit the tank on the armor where plates and treads meet, it should glance off and hit the main turret causing two hits at once and boom one shot, one kill.

The M1A2 Abrams can be 1 shotted quite easily, the T90 and Type 98 on the other hand are a little harder to 1 shot, but can be taken out in an easy 2 by a skilled tanker (assuming he is not on a box/repair vehicle).

This was probably mentioned, but Im too lazy to read everything. but the Abrams has a sweet spot that gets a 1 hit kill, its a little tricky, but not impossible, I can get it somewhat regularly when the tanks arent moving, and only twice while moving

You probably ran over some rough terrain and it dropped your armor down, because you know how fragile an M1  is when going over bumps.

I think you're mixing up kinetic-energy warheads, like the dart in APFSDS, with a shaped charge, as used in HEAT.

I concur. I've read about the "bouncing round" in a few other 4m's as well.  A nicely placed shot between the turret and hull will "bounce" and cause not only splash dammage, but other multiple round hits off of that single shot.   I've been killed that way 4 times, and have dished it out twice.  For some reason, the M1 seems more vulnerable to it though.

A T-90 goes down in ONE shot with any TANK if you hit it right. In the front of the tank where the treads start to go down you will notice that the armor in that area also slopes down with the treads. If you have the correct angle, skill and luck you can fire your shell, have it ricochet off the armor (thats hit #1) and then hit under the turret (hit # 2 and the kill) It is extreemly possible to do this as I have done it multiple times (and i was accused of being a hack multiple times). Its possible to do the same with an Abrams but is much more difficult.

Easy enough to get the one shot kills. Aim right on the right fender in front of the tank Just above the right track. I have practised this and it does work. Mind you its not 100% all the time but  id give it 75%  if you aim there it will work.

it's not easy to do in a heated battle, but it can be done. it isn't a hack, dont worry about it. i have done it myself once or twice, and died a lot trying to do it ( ), but there is a weak spot on the tank. just have to know where to shoot.

i was gonna respond to this post ages ago about the FACT that there is a one shot kill on both tanks, then i thought to my self, i don't want you n00bers to know about it.  Thanks to those of you telling everyone lol,, Its something i've been using alot over the past few months, its funny how mad the other tank drivers get,,  "OMFG you haxor cheet!!"    lol    oh well, i'll still beat them to it,

I is possible.

Certain things, like the tank shell, will ricochet of surfaces (with the richt angle ofcourse).
That being said, it proves you can kill a tank in one shot.
Because you wil hit it twice.

Shoot - Hit - 'Ricochet' - Hit

Plain and simple, But its hard to preform

I've blown up in a tank on what I thought was one hit but actually turned out to be an APC and a tank hitting me at the same time.

BTW,
If you ever see me in a tank (I don't do it often) do not get in with me I'm a death magnet in those things.
Same here seems everyone goes AT, or sitting on a TOW, its feels like Im the only tank and every plane/chopper and C4 guy is coming to get me !!!
