This weapon is useless most of the times, in Arad your allies kill enemy tanks before you even scratch them, and enemy tanks mow you with machinegun. Or you waste all your ammunition and still not killing tank.
@AnonymousCthulhu what! i have hit the same tank like 5 shots and it does not disable it. i have tried it on the g and the tiger and did not work. it was also close up
@halo56822 Sorry, I don't know the specifics of disabling tank treads. If you mean the spots in this video, then your angle must be off. You aren't hitting those spots on the side of the tank. You're meaning to penetrate the tank's armor to get at the ammunition reserves inside. These spots are just where to aim at to hit the interior parts when perfectly lined up with the side. In addition to being perfectly lined up, I was also on a small ledge that gave me some height.
@halo56822 If you were up close and hitting these spots and still not causing fire or destruction, then try backing up or aiming lower. Your shot may be passing the internal reserves that cause the damage. Even I have noticed that you have to get the angle decently right to deal damage.
@AnonymousCthulhu i want to know how to disable because when you are prone and realoading, they can turn around pretty fast and get on mg and take you out. if i disable, they can get out and fight which i will take pistol out. second is turn turret to kill me but i will get to tank extremely close because they cannot reach you and take them out or they will get annoyed and get out and ill take them out.
In the game the bullet looses energy over distance best to aim at the rear of the vehicle I used to aim for the ammo storage to burn up the vehicle. You can take out the engine, leak out the fuel and injure the crew.
the ptrd was effective against early war german armor such as the panzer 2 and 3, but the side armor on the late panzer 4 was 38 mm not 30, and the panther had 40 mm side armor wich is the absolute maximum it could do with a tungsten round at point blank range, but usually the small caliber combined with the high muzzle velocity would make the round shatter or fail at penetrating, therefor shooting vision ports was was a common tactic but also not very effective
@halo56822 1. Yes, I don't think the weapon has falloff damage. 2. Yes, there is bullet drop with this weapon as well travel time. You have to aim higher than your target and further ahead if they're moving. 3. The rear of the tanks, I believe, is the weakest point, but my experience has shown me that it's easier to hit the ammo box (which causes the explosion) from the side than from the rear.
@makemeroblox2 Sure, if you were this close. I was only this close to show you the exact spots to aim at. You can aim for these spots at range and compensate for gravity to achieve the same effect. :)
@AnonymousCthulhu dumb...... i ment It isent that good in reel life. i think its op=over powerd. = I MEEN ITS TOO GOD AND UN-REEL! get it now the slow one?
@SweStuff94 You're assuming the problem is a lack of reading comprehension on my part. No, the truth is that you are poor at communicating in English. Don't get pissy at me for YOUR faults. Be more specific next time.

@SweStuff94 For starters, you're typing, so it doesn't matter how easily your class understands your spoken word. Second, you never made the distinction between the rifle being "not so good" in real life but "overpowered" in the game. You only made that distinction after I pointed out you were being contradictory. The fault here is you, not me, so spare me the smart ass comments and shit like "get it now the slow one?"
@AnonymousCthulhu if u had reed the full mening of the first sentenc it would have been and some reeding betwin the lines (ofc if u know a little bit of game slang too) and here it is : the ptrd(weapon) isent that good, (then u assume in reel life) its a bit overpowerd i think. but u dident assume that, i think? but most of us would. so the problem maby wasnt my all my fault after all?and way would i say that it isent that good and then say its op? if it sound wrong its usuly isent.

I don't think this would have any chance of penetrating the armor on a Tiger I. I wish they did less damage in RO, but got supplied with more ammo for harassment fire.
i think 2-3 hits on the side of the HTs engine, just above the last wheel in the HTs tread, may blow it up. I've only tried this in full servers, so there may be other factors affecting the damage done
To the people that say the PTRD was used as a sniper. Yes, it was used as a sniper on rare occasions, just like on rare occasions, some guy, I forgot his name, modified a Browning M2 to be a sniper rifle. Yet, was the Browning M2 made to be a sniper rifle? Hell no. The PTRD was used as an anti-material rifle that would really just blow the treads off of tanks in order for troops to storm it and eventually destroy it. It was also used to punch through light armor and kill the people inside.
@ninjaman00 the browing m2 wasnt really modified into a sniper. Some of them are equipped with scopes for mor accurate shots a distances. but not really for sniping.
Carlos Hathcock (White Feather), sometimes used a modified M2 for a sniper, but he generally used the standard Winchester Model 70 30-06. He was an interesting historical figure, and well worth reading about. Thanks for reminding me of him :)
Just so you know they still play carpathian crosses on a polish server every friday night :) its about 10-12 people every friday :) The name is in red yellow and blue letters you cant miss it on friday night :D Be there tonight! :)
I've found that when targeting halftracks and such, the crew tends to just disembark and travel out on foot, rather than risk getting hit by more AT fire.
thanks man, and the PTRD was used to shoot troops, there is rumors that it was used effectively as a sniper rifle, had a scope. More effectevely it was used to shoot the drivers or tight armor. I actually seen a video in museum from WW2 where a guy got half of his body blow off with PTRD, and infact the museum had PTRD with a scope from Mosin and SVT sniper rifle, I guess just a trick mods during the war see it if it works.
Last year I used the info on this video to one shot a moving Panther at 200 meters with the AT rifle. Pissed the crew off to know limit. Study this video and keep the tanks at bay.
On the half tracks i preferr to fire at the engine or where the driver is. The bullets can penetrate the walls so its easy to just kil the gunner or driver.
Given that this is a game, I know it isnt s'posed to be totally accurate. The PTRD, -S rifles had the ability (under good conditions) to penetrate 30 to 40 mm @90deg.@100mtr. Depending on which info source one uses. The rear, and lower side armor of the panther was 40 mm These rifles would have been at the very limit of their performance, even if less than 100 mtr. These rifles were not meant to deal with tanks of the later war, just the thinly armored 30's designs used at the beginning.
@xkylex2231 NO, no and no...learn some ballistic facts about armor, caliber etc from WWII. PDTR was mainly used to shoot troops inside light armoured APCs
@AnonymousCthulhu Acording wiki it could penetrate 30-40mm at 100m (i bet the house thats at 0º angle) so there is no dam way the PTRD can beat a pierce the armor of a tiger or pather tank no matter the side. period.
@AnonymousCthulhu I think he was like "hey, hey petrov" "what vasili?" "dude, i wonder what happens if i shoot a german with a ptrs....." "vasili you genius"
I've constantly shot Krauts with the PTRS before, all I could do was grin and wish that the physics were real. If they were, there's be many of them without a face/torso.
tiger's rear armour was easily penetrated by this, i mean it's a 14.5mm with a 2 meter long barrel. So it could really fuck up tiger's engine, not in an explosion like in the game, but putting it out of combat
@DkFr88 So you really think it could penetrate the armor, the cooling, the engine compartment and the hit the massive engine and render it pout of duty... jesus I wonder why the russians used heavy artillery and IL2s to beat the Tiger when all they needed was this ultra-weapon!
@DkFr88 OK why that ;) and remeber.. 45-50mm at 100m (on actual battlefield that means suicidal range) and 0º angle (that is quite a lucky shot). BTW it must have had some effectiveness not the less germans started to put side skirts ;)
You don't actually shoot them off, just aim at the treads and after a few hits, it should damage them and either slow down the tank or prevent it from moving. I remember doing this a few times.
You don't have to be that close, if that's what you were implying. Second, many tankers stop to allow the turret controller some ground to fire. You can still hit these spots even if the tank is moving, though. You just have to aim head 'predicting' where the vital spot will be depending on your distance. The further away, more prediction needed. :D
These spots are still vital from the front. Granted, the front armor is stronger than the side. Aim at the same spot, and it should go up like a firework after a few shots. That or the engine will be damaged and they can't move or you could even fire at the treads to prevent it from moving. Literally.
If the driver has his head outside the tank then you can kill him with any weapon. The PTRD may be able to shoot through the driver's "peep hole" aswell.
Shooting the motorcycle crews is great practice, and requires some good prediction, but once you pop them and see them go up like a firework.. sweet victory.. Lol
These are not bugs. I used to fire at the same spots in game, both on the German tanks and the Russian tanks and they always hit. Granted, I had to get close (ninja) to the tanks to hit perfectly accurate, they work.
Seriously (I've never played this game), but the having the 14.5*114 mm (ptrd and ptrs caliber) go through all those tanks? and hitting the ammo compartment? Even i think that's a little hard to swallow, (I mean principle is sound, hit the ammo compartment in a tank and you blow it up easy) But going through all that Armour ?? (I specifically mean the tiger and panther, panzer 2-4 i can believe)
Well i Don't mean to dis it all, I've heard great things about the game, through the panzer 2- 4 it may seem plausible. Anyways realism and physics aside, Can you tell me: Do you have to pay to play this game?
There is a weak spot on the German halftrack. On the front left side of the engine there is a pipe(which I assume might lead to the gas tank, perhaps?). I've scored many critical hits there, and when the HT doesn't blow immediately, a second shot does it in. I haven't been able to does this from the right side, so I'm lead to believe that the little pipe itself is the weak spot.
Great vid, I've always struggled finding the exact place on the panther to hit :)
most of the time the inside of the tank catches on Fire and the crew has to jump out then if the fire gets near the ammo place then it would blow up but most the time just making more fire
I mean if you hit a tank in this game everything is destroyed when really it would just have a big hole in it and everything else inside would be messed up
it'd be hard to do that in game I guess. and if you see a tank go boom, you know you did your job ;) and because of the large distances of the tank fights in this game, you wouldnt see a hole in armor...
I'm afraid it won't happen... they are going to make HoS more casaul, at least from what I know. They said they "overdid it " with realism in RO :( And I think tank fights are pretty realistic already in RO. compare them to tank fights in CoD - kind of difference :p
you said you needed help on the halftrack weak spot, well i've found one, its on the front, hit it in the front engine and it may blow up in one hit, if it doesnt work ove out or the MG will tear you to pieces :)
Hey dumfuck the soviets did win world war 2. They pushed germany out of every country they had taken to their east and then marched into berlin and razed it to the ground.
Hence the cold war... Ever heard of it where the soviets controlled most of europe. They gained control after pushing out german forces. Damn dont they teach anything in school.
Yeah, probably because there can be like nine people in it (6 seats, 2 front seats, 1 mg). It would be far too easy to shoot it in two hits and get six kills.
People say that it's impossible for a PTRD to do that, but they don't realize that the side hull armor where the track mechanisms are, is an extremely lightly armored area for tanks of that time. Plus that area is almost a 0 degree meet angle and will greatly assist in defeting armor as the 30mm rule is for a 60 degree meet angle. Granted getting a shot like that is extremely hard, but still possible.
Dude, this is the following. It can pierce 30mm of armor which was the armor of the Panzer IV series. The skirts were introduced to stop the Anti tank rifle of soviet union to penetrate their panzer IV... Side Armor of panther i can t pierce. Thats super impossible. It gets really close doing so in lower hull tough, Side lower hull is 40mm while upper is 50mm.
Anyways, the most stupid think, is actually penetrate TIGER I.... 80mm of side armor and back, ur 30mm anti tank rifle wont do nothing...
Look, Panzer IV H (Skirts one) was actually made for this purpose, defend against soviet Anti Tank rifles... This anti tank rifles penetrate 30-35mm at point blank.... They became obsulate in middle and late war, why you think germans and UK and USA devolved their Panzerfaust and Panzerschrek, Piat and M1 Bazooka? Anti rifle were obsolete, in the game its just made overpowered for soviet infantry be able do something to tanks. Also, Tiger gots 80mm of side armor, no chance for that Anti rifle...
It the shot strikes the hitbox, it will explode. As far as I know, the PTRD is pretty accurate (no need to aim above to compensate for drop) even at very long ranges and has no damage falloff. All you have to do is compensate for angles, really. I've taken out tanks from across the map on Arad.

draconis93 2 years ago
You don't actually shoot them off, just aim at the treads and after a few hits, it should damage them and either slow down the tank or prevent it from moving. I remember doing this a few times.
AnonymousCthulhu 2 years ago
aim at the inside of the tracks
lyndhen 2 years ago
now knowing this is great but on a tank map when is the PTRD ever firing on a tanks side or getting a standing target?
hcnif55 2 years ago
You don't have to be that close, if that's what you were implying. Second, many tankers stop to allow the turret controller some ground to fire. You can still hit these spots even if the tank is moving, though. You just have to aim head 'predicting' where the vital spot will be depending on your distance. The further away, more prediction needed. :D
AnonymousCthulhu 2 years ago
most of the time there miles on the other side of the map and you only see the front of the tank
hcnif55 2 years ago
These spots are still vital from the front. Granted, the front armor is stronger than the side. Aim at the same spot, and it should go up like a firework after a few shots. That or the engine will be damaged and they can't move or you could even fire at the treads to prevent it from moving. Literally.

still not as good and the uk anti tank weapon and its still not that good its better to run at it and use the 10 lp charges

There are no brits in Red Orchestra. Plus, good luck getting close with the satchels on infantry/tank maps, you'll get shredded. L2PTRD like a pro.

Is that weak spots near the munitions or fuel stores?
I heard that you can knock guys out of the drivers seat from frontal shots.
leeham991 2 years ago
Munitions, I believe.
AnonymousCthulhu 2 years ago
If the driver has his head outside the tank then you can kill him with any weapon. The PTRD may be able to shoot through the driver's "peep hole" aswell.

AnonymousCthulhu 2 years ago
These are not bugs. I used to fire at the same spots in game, both on the German tanks and the Russian tanks and they always hit. Granted, I had to get close (ninja) to the tanks to hit perfectly accurate, they work.

they're weak spots. Like a human body. tanks have vital area.

AnonymousCthulhu 2 years ago
Seriously (I've never played this game), but the having the 14.5*114 mm (ptrd and ptrs caliber) go through all those tanks? and hitting the ammo compartment? Even i think that's a little hard to swallow, (I mean principle is sound, hit the ammo compartment in a tank and you blow it up easy) But going through all that Armour ?? (I specifically mean the tiger and panther, panzer 2-4 i can believe)
pvtherman 2 years ago
It's a game.
AnonymousCthulhu 2 years ago
Well i Don't mean to dis it all, I've heard great things about the game, through the panzer 2- 4 it may seem plausible. Anyways realism and physics aside, Can you tell me: Do you have to pay to play this game?

It's $14.99 on steam, occasionally goes down for weekend deals. I believe.

the armor is not all over the tank same strenght
Ifko123 2 years ago
The places that are being hit on the tanks are their weakest spots. Even the Tiger has little spots that have little armour.
inamonianim 2 years ago
There is a weak spot on the German halftrack. On the front left side of the engine there is a pipe(which I assume might lead to the gas tank, perhaps?). I've scored many critical hits there, and when the HT doesn't blow immediately, a second shot does it in. I haven't been able to does this from the right side, so I'm lead to believe that the little pipe itself is the weak spot.
Great vid, I've always struggled finding the exact place on the panther to hit :)

silly game how does a half track have more armour than a panzer
jordyboy321 2 years ago
it's not silly an half track don't carry 60+ explosive cannon ammo, so if you aim at the personal compartment you'll not do much damage
Gjldo 2 years ago
its unrealistic how you blow up instantly
RazorCell7 2 years ago
well, they blow up mostly vecause tank ammo inside explodes...
grasander 2 years ago 9
yeah if you hit the right spot.. IF
most of the time the inside of the tank catches on Fire and the crew has to jump out then if the fire gets near the ammo place then it would blow up but most the time just making more fire
I mean if you hit a tank in this game everything is destroyed when really it would just have a big hole in it and everything else inside would be messed up
RazorCell7 2 years ago
it'd be hard to do that in game I guess. and if you see a tank go boom, you know you did your job ;) and because of the large distances of the tank fights in this game, you wouldnt see a hole in armor...
grasander 2 years ago
yeah man true
but it would be cool if the hatch opened up and you see the guys trying to get out and smoke build up and such
I know Men Of War is the only realistic Tank fighting game I'v ever seen but thats an RTS
It would be cool if they took that detail and realsm into play from Men Of War to Red Orchestra
man I hope they do that in Heroes of Stalingrad
RazorCell7 2 years ago
I'm afraid it won't happen... they are going to make HoS more casaul, at least from what I know. They said they "overdid it " with realism in RO :( And I think tank fights are pretty realistic already in RO. compare them to tank fights in CoD - kind of difference :p
grasander 2 years ago
really? damn!
that sucks they better not make the both Tanks the same amount of health or any crap like that
and lolz CoD5 is not realistic at all not even a shread lolz but the tank fights is just who ever gets the other person first

Hey dumfuck the soviets did win world war 2. They pushed germany out of every country they had taken to their east and then marched into berlin and razed it to the ground.
Hence the cold war... Ever heard of it where the soviets controlled most of europe. They gained control after pushing out german forces. Damn dont they teach anything in school.

the fuking half track is thougther than a tank?
perreterecon 2 years ago
Yeah, probably because there can be like nine people in it (6 seats, 2 front seats, 1 mg). It would be far too easy to shoot it in two hits and get six kills.
AnonymousCthulhu 2 years ago
yea, also half track looks more well shielded
perreterecon 2 years ago
I mean nine kills.
AnonymousCthulhu 2 years ago
People say that it's impossible for a PTRD to do that, but they don't realize that the side hull armor where the track mechanisms are, is an extremely lightly armored area for tanks of that time. Plus that area is almost a 0 degree meet angle and will greatly assist in defeting armor as the 30mm rule is for a 60 degree meet angle. Granted getting a shot like that is extremely hard, but still possible.

Range: 5,000 feet (1,500 meters).
Magazine: 5 round fixed box magazine.
and you tell me now can it pierce tank armor or what ?
Slic3R1 2 years ago
Dude, this is the following. It can pierce 30mm of armor which was the armor of the Panzer IV series. The skirts were introduced to stop the Anti tank rifle of soviet union to penetrate their panzer IV... Side Armor of panther i can t pierce. Thats super impossible. It gets really close doing so in lower hull tough, Side lower hull is 40mm while upper is 50mm.
Anyways, the most stupid think, is actually penetrate TIGER I.... 80mm of side armor and back, ur 30mm anti tank rifle wont do nothing...
Migalex21 2 years ago
Maybe only gay for you, but it's realistic!
MannenQ 2 years ago
Look, Panzer IV H (Skirts one) was actually made for this purpose, defend against soviet Anti Tank rifles... This anti tank rifles penetrate 30-35mm at point blank.... They became obsulate in middle and late war, why you think germans and UK and USA devolved their Panzerfaust and Panzerschrek, Piat and M1 Bazooka? Anti rifle were obsolete, in the game its just made overpowered for soviet infantry be able do something to tanks. Also, Tiger gots 80mm of side armor, no chance for that Anti rifle...

raketaman 2 years ago
It the shot strikes the hitbox, it will explode. As far as I know, the PTRD is pretty accurate (no need to aim above to compensate for drop) even at very long ranges and has no damage falloff. All you have to do is compensate for angles, really. I've taken out tanks from across the map on Arad.
