Dear sir, I do say, what blasphemous events are occurring as of lately, it is common knowledge that turning your armored vehicle during combat while also rotating your turret device will result in large degrees of inaccuracy, leading to a high potential to miss important shots. I dare go as far as to make claims that this lack of knowledge regarding tank warfare conducted over the internet would qualify you as unskilled, and I assume you rely entirely on the minimap to tobacco stick door nobs.

Everyone knows how fast a Hetzer can turn sitting dead still... I catch myself a LOT instead of just turning left or right to confront an unexpected bad guy, I will hit forward or reverse while trying to turn .. Slows the maneuver way down and gets ya killed..
Sometimes I want to break the "W" button on my keyboard.

Lets face it; If the other tank is faster than you, and you are out in the open with no help or object to back into, you are going to get owned.
That's why I look for something to back into even the edge of the map when a t50 is on the prowl.
My fav was a T50 killing a T59 from 100%.

The best solution is paying attention and not let the fast tanks get close enough to circle strafe, but somethimes the RNG is less than helpful The two big things to do in your slower turning tank are to back up and turn your turret with your hull. Staying stationary is never a good option.

I was merely commenting and posing for a humorous comment on the perpetual infiltration of those with little knowledge of the english language. It seems that our wonderful society has been infested for quite some time with creatures such as this, who have chosen to abstain from the features of this wonderful electronic entertainment such as the miniature charts.

Well...that's why those German Tanks are given neutral steer as early as Tier 6...
They'll need some kind of leverage...
Alas, the majority thinks that only the turret do the work of moving the gun...

Russian tanks, especially the low tier heavies lose massive amounts of aim accuracy when they move.
Sure he could have pointed his gun AT you and had his aim circle the size of Vermont.
Traversing the turret doesn't wreck the aim circle as much as both the turret and hull turning.
His main mistake was ignoring you that long.
Had he turned both, the shot would have been 1/1000 to make, possible, but not something to bet on.

One of the funniest things to see is a tank trying to traverse hull and turret in opposite directions when getting circled lol.
I've done it trying to kill T-50 circling around me (KV-1). Apparently he didn't expect this maneuver and was killed.

Not turning your hull is about as bad as using arcade mode for aiming at close range: aiming at weakpoints is almost impossible, and chances are you are aiming at the roof of his tank, meaning at least half of your reticle is off target.
I killed a KV-3 from 100% with my SU-85(first 85mm gun) at point blank because he was in arcade mode. Every single one of his shots passed over me.

I use arcade mode, max zoom, at close range.
Because my computer is not powerful enough to allow shifting in and out of sniper mode while infighting.

I just finished an attack on Malinokva and ended up with a respectable four kills for my effort. One of them was a KV-2 that I just had to write about.
I was driving my PzIV with the L70, sneaking through the woods near the church in support as I usually do on this map. We had already lost our two heavies on this flank so I decided that staying alive an spotting for runners was probably the best thing that I could do for the team. I managed to light up two enemy KV-2's as well as a T25/2, I was going to remain passive scout (thick woods, full camo, 150m-200m ranges) but couldn't resist putting the weakened T25/2 out of its misery.
My shot roused the KV's who slowly began to lumber towards my position. One was taken out by artillery and friendly tanks but the other dropped off the map, only to reappear 50m away looking directly away from me. I pumped two shots into his backside before concentrating my fire on the back and side of that big fat turret of his, hoping for an ammo rack. After my second hit he realised what was up and oh-so-painfully began to turn his turret toward me. Three shots, four shots, finally the fifth took him out with only around 15 degrees of turret arc to go ! And yes, he was a 152mm derp so if he had got the angle on me then OKW would have had to send my remains home in an ashtray.
The moral of the story is - why didn't that KV turn his hull as well as his turret ? A turret travers of 14 degrees plus a hull traverse of 18 equalts 32 desgrees per second - ie at least 2-3 fewer shots from me and a 152mm ticket to Valhalla for me.
All I know is that I thank God (or the RNG, whatever) for that driver's mistake !

Because more than 50% of the people playing this are not old enough to drive a car. How would they possibly understand basic and common sense vehicular movement?

Best post I have seen today so far. +1
But yeah, I'm sure that 90% of the time when people don't turn there hull it's either, they are new or tracked. The other 10% are either drunk or don't want to expose their sides to a larger threat.

Saw this example last night and thought I'll post it up here. It's tragic... and funny.
