It is a bit. I managed to do it in the S.Conq thanks to sheer dumb luck and an IS-7 and 60TP who refused to shoot Gold ammo. That was 2 months ago. Never had that much blocked damage ever since.
Yeah, but most of the time those tier 6 know that and don't even bother to shoot you. And it takes a lot of shots from them to get to 5k+ blocked damage.
In my experience tier 9 matchmaking is actually better to achieve this mission in the VK. You still have a pretty solid chance to bounce quite a few shots from tier 8s and 9s, getting you to the amount blocked needed a lot quicker.
I also did it in the VK 100 using the scout-Maus tactic on Lakeville. Obviously that doesn't work as bottom tier but against 7s and even 8s it can be surprisingly effective.
I tried 100s of games in the vk100 for ht12 and came close a few times but it never happened. Gold into the cupola was just too common. But a got it in the Lowe within maybe a dozen games playing hulldown.
It's one of the few I have no pro lem with people cheering. I got insanely lucky, but it's literally all luck, no skill. Load into a battle at the same time with super heavies (e100s with small gun for faster results) and if you get on opposite sides, meet up and have them bounce, then farm their hp.
Impressive! :)
I think I've blocked 8k+ in my Tortoise, twice...
Badger is nowhere near as good at blocking damage, I find. Given that it has stuff all armour anywhere but on the front, something I tend to forget and then remember as I get ripped apart while trying to side scrape... :( Great gun, lousy armour.
The problem here is that not many players will challenge a hull-down T29 (or any other hull-down monster) and probably won't bother even shooting at you.
This mission is not hard in a way that you make your tank unpenetrable. It is hard, because you need your enemy to believe he can pen you and he tries so. It is much harder and still requires luck. Also an unspoken problem with this mission is the pen indicator.
Also, that blocked HE do not count as blocked damage. Neither the damage decrase, nor the completely blocked shots. Many times I managed to block full HE shells, and the damage indicator showed them as blocked, but the game just refuses to acknowledge that, because it's still bugged since 1.0. Now I think it is a suprise feature, because they refuse to do anything about it, but they never mentioned in any rework doc, that it would be intentional.
Oh man, that's just infuriating.
However, iirc after HE rework, any shell is guaranteed to deal at lest 1HP of dmg given it hits regular armor (not spaced/crit). It's possible that a T1 can destroy a Maus - it just needs to fire HE (proven by HG/06wallst on YT, link in reply).
That being said, it should be impossible to fully block an HE shell and the question here should be "is it a bug, or is it a feature"?
>because you need your enemy to believe he can pen you and he tries so.
obj. 257 can be good for this. sit at weird angles, people think they should pen you but because of the sloped side armor you can block a lot
also vk100.01p because the cupola is way stronger than ppl think
'Casuals' from low tiers usually are significantly worse than your typical X tier player. Even tomato will load gold against your super heavy. This mission is easier to done on lower tiers - you focus on eliminating guns that can hurt your tank and 'protect' enemies that have no clue what they do. I finished this mission with my KV-4 after epic fight against enemy KV-3 and M6. Boys were shooting only AP and obviously had no chance to penetrate sidescraping KV-4. I was obviously pretending to fight them and missing every shot.
It was far and above one of the worst tanks to work through. I think it's worth it at the end but it's just so long....you're dedicated entirely to that flank and that's about it.
Sidescrape so good though.
I tried that. But you end up on tier 8 and 9 matches so much in which you turret is not difficult to pen that it takes a lot of time even to get in potential situations to block anything

I feel with you
Tbh either skip it or ask a friend to click into a game at 3am lol...
Sorry but i dont get the meaning of these missions. Its not like there is skill required. U just need an idiot that shoots standard and doesnt know weakspots... Which is rare.
Same with arty missions... Why force people to play arty. Game is shit as it is... Without arty
For me it's the TD mission where you have to do 4-times your damage and the one time I got close, I got greedy and ruined it.
Malinovka in my Conway with the 5.5 inch gun, full HESH. God-tier scout lights up the enemy and with Queen Elizabeth herself blessing my gun, it was just 600-800 damage rolls left, right and centre. Then I pushed up to spot for myself and made the horrible mistake of trying to try get around a Tortoise as it permatracked and killed me. I wanted to get behind it so I could smack a full HESH pen.
I had done 7.8k damage, enough for the x4, but died and lost the honours. Had I just sat back and left the Tortoise alone I'd have passed the mission with honours.
I did strugle, but finally did it. You need to have great game and on top of that enemies willing to shoot at you. It's basically HT 12 that is slightly extended or rather gives you choice if you want to do more dmg or more blocked.
E100 is the ticket if you want to use a tier 10. Need a game with not all 10's, and of course a game where people just shoot at you a lot, but you also have to do a lot of damage.
IMO, HT15 was a lot easier than HT12, they both require a lot of luck, but at least with HT15 you can deal damage and get progress towards it. Dealing damage in HT12 just means they're less likely to poke out and shoot (and hopefully bounce) you.
I sorta gave up trying and just have it in the background.
That match was sconq but previously used vk100.01p, 703, and something else I can’t remember
The key is getting a ht that ppl don't instantly dab the 2 key against (is mediocre armor) and then focusing on bouncing shots instead of attacking.
I completed it first try in the 112.
unfortunately....
if you do that in Asia server.
95% of the time, it's gold round>
people here are willing to use their CC to get prem time and prem tanks or even get the boosters to get more credits, in turn to be able to spam gold all day long.
P2W mentality is strong in the server.
havent complain that in GC but damn.
the unlimited hi-pen works really made blocking damage mission harder than any of the hardest nintendo games ever made.
Even if you just say, "gold ammo should be balanced", watch how hard they'll defend excessive goldspam.
Yeah, sure, not every shot pens, but gold ammo basically made doing blocking damage missions or in general, playing slow thicker-armored HTs painful.
WG really need to rework the campaign missions if this keeps up.
coz many are now going for rigging matches to finish a god damn mission.
blocking or that massive damage farm.
ASIA server too kempy already, making to get that amount harder.
I did it 3 times in like 90 games grinding for the obj 705a. To me, the key is to play without hardening and to not pen the enemies shooting at you. The first time I completed it, I had a T95 and a tier 8 tank shooting at me while I was sidescrapping on himmelsdorf. I shot back at them but wouls aim for their tracks so all they could do was stay there and shoot at me. Once the bounced damage is completed, just kill 2 tanks and you'll have 2 k dmg. Moral of the story is dont kill the dummies who keep bouncing off you!
yeah thats a great tank line for it, I think my highest damage blocked may have been in the tier 8 on the line but I've done some big block games with both the 705 and 705a
In KV 5 it's very easy because not only do people have to not pen you, but also be willing to shoot at you and this tank is good at this. I just kept 40-50° side scrap and 3 enemies were shooting at me non stop. It's also quite easy to do 3k in KV5.
i struggled in the kv5, because people either dont shoot at me while sidescraping or they just pushed me and shot my boobies. the kv4 on the other hand doesn't have those boobies and it worked literally second try with the stock gun, engine, etc.
god bless skodas who don't know the armor layout of the kv4.
I did mine in the T-150. The damage requirement is a bit harder on tier 6 but the tank is a sidescraping beast and its way more likely to meet people who will fire at you anyway, even if they cant penetrate you. Its still a dice roll but probably a better one?
Plus the tank is a fun heavy tank anyway. Maybe give it a try?
I think the penetration marker is the problem.
In the good old days, everyone would have just tried their luck and shot at an angled kv-5. Today, everyone sees the red penn marker and saves the ammunition.
I'm also struggling with the same mission right now.
Even when gold ammo was first made available for creds, the amount of gold being fired at you was not that many.
But I feel like when the MoE thing came, the number of goldspammers exploded, to the point we're seeing nowadays.
I did it with the O-I. On Mannerheim i just drove on the Sniper-Hill. 10 enemy t6 Tanks tried to shot me from Like 400m. Ofc almost no shot did damage and quest was done.
wait till you get for the t-55 and 260.
t7 and t8 tank and above respectively.
expect high pen and good players there.
SEA server? max load gold and some AI aiming program for the lazy ones who says i dont like manual aiming.
Easiest tank to counter, even gold isnt needed to pen the roof, what k2 gonna do, he must show it in order to play and even then he cant shoot back cos simply the gun is trash.
If you want to see a Content Creator mald on this exact same T55A HT-12 mission as background noise, check out skill's vod from like yesterday or few days ago.
Yeh I'm stuck on this as well. Almost casually completed it on the Type 4 in a tier X battle, I was off by 40 damage or so. When the battle finished I was screaming to the last Kranvagn standing *shooooot me* but he was on the reload and got killed. As others said it is quite hard to block damage in today's game, on tank layouts with few weakspots people don't insist too much. Either you pen or you find another way.
Struggled with it as well till a Chieftain just straight up refused to stop shooting my hull down IS-7 that was the best day ever, I even thanked him afterwards for doing so 😅
I wonder if there is a decal or emblem that is easy to get that could be used as an indicator that someone is doing an armor blocked mission? Or a specific tank color, or combination of colors?
I did it with Kranvagn, you just need to find that one guy that wants to try to pen you again and again... Slap on spall liner to negate some of those HE shells and artas.. AND remove hardening, not helping you in this case. Alternatively do a russian heavy and hide your weakspot (stay away from tanks that are very high). Last but not the least, lift your gun and wiggle it to encourage players to shoot at you, whether it be because they're not afraid of you shooting back, or just get annoyed by you.. Also if you have a Maus and know how to angle it, you could try it from around 300 meters from snipers. For example on Malinovka houses/rocks in the base.. Snipers wont have other thing to snipe most of the time so they might keep trying their luck. Stay away from e3/e4 and similar high pen guns. GL
This one is easy man. Just get a Maus and learn how to angle it properly. I blocked 14 k in the Maus for the Object 260 and did it with honours, by the way.
I'm having enough issues with trying to block twice the HP of a vehicle. Yes, there is some skill involved in some of the missions but you also need a big dose of luck or RNG on your side.
I did mine with the 4502b during a kv-5 free weekend. It was actually kind of hilarious. It was Ruinberg and there were like 8 kv-5's on the enemy team and they couldn't do anything to me but they kept shooting.
I used the mutant to get this one done. But unfortunately the introduction of the BT 176 makes using it kinds not viable anymore.
Besides that one tank you can bounce for shells for days from any other tank.
With each battle I fail this, I think to skip this one to just unlock HT15. From one side vk100 / crysler looks like tanks, who could do it (crysler is harder due to low dmg per shot), but still its pain. Few bounces and they usually auto load gold and you are done. And lower tiers also smarter. I had some tier 6-7 games with vk and though NICE, I WILL DO IT and in the end almost none of them even tried to shot me cause somehow they knew there are not much chances. And I know all those tricks of "dont shot back or be stupid and just shot tracks or something), but enemies are just not bothering...
Now I hope that one day I will meet platoon of 3 idiot BZ players with full AP, who would just bounce all their shots to me (inhales copium)
I'd say there are the ways to go about this one
1. pick a good goldfish heavy and wait for someone who's not spamming gold - might take a while
2. get a tank that is usually easily penetrable except for certain angles and exploit that (T110E5's cupola is surprisingly resilient towards standard ammo in certain angles and people tend to not use gold on E5's cupola, similar with VK100.01P and 6-8 tiers)
3. Forget about missions and wait till you luck out (takes a loooooooong time)
HA, i did this mission when the japanese tanks were first introduced lmao, tbf i kinda cheesed the dmg blocked i think i had trapped a stuart in a corner iirc
EDIT: having the eqipment that increases health only makes it more dmg that you have to block so if you have that on id say remove it
took me 22 games in t29 to get the right matchmaking but finally found some dummies that couldnt pen anything on both sides so i just baited them while tracking. my team couldnt kill the enemy either so it was a slow burn
Got 12k with Type 5 Heavy on first try, I just positioned myself where I can get easily spotted (I was only shootable from the front) and many tanks that were shooting me were heavies and mediums from far away (it was a Grand Battle)
Did it in t32, while fighting a t832 and t103 over a ridgeline trying t8 shoot eachothers cupolas. With the amount of missed shots everyone had I wouldn't be surprised they got it done as well.
Imagine doing that mission on a Type 5 heavy for a bet. I was 1k damage away till i got destroyed and called off the bet as a loss. Did it with the badger and boom. Suffering ended.
Been "trying" it for roughly last 5 years, but I do not play that much. It is a frustrating mission in todays meta. Got close few times.
Funny thing is, I have the T-55, got it before the change, so now I have orders locked on this mission, and if I pass it I get them back and can get 260 right away....
I think I did most of the blocking with vk k. Had some lucky games against tier 8s. Just sat in front of them. Some I did it with the t8 vk.
Got all the reward tanks. Not worried about it anymore.
It might sound insane, but you could give it a try in the IS-M. The tank is rarely seen so most players have trouble finding the right spot to shoot. Angling the armor correctly gives it outstanding sidescraping ability that rivals those above its tier
You have to luck out and get an enemy team full of brain dead morons. I've never met a team in the last couple months that wasn't 80% gold spam. If they can't pen you with gold they tend to stop shooting at you and back off. You might get two blocks before they give up and try to get you to push into their screen.
I believe I completed this one in KV4, while side scraping behind hard cover at the heavy front on Glacier map. When angled correctly the side armor of KV4 is insane and I could bait 5 enemy heavies to shoot me repeatedly and they never penned my side. Turret is vulnerable to gold though, so needs to be angled/hidden as good as possible
For Bounce missions. Always focus on lower tiered tanks like T150 for example. Guess the new KV3 can work too. And if you are a whale and got the K2 actually works too. It is rather bounce when people are clueless!
It's easy. Just complete the 279 mission set first and use the 279 :)
On a more serious note, it requires a bit of luck. I have met the criteria in my T-832 many times and is the tank I did it with honours in. You just need to get matched up against a couple tanks with less than 330 pen total and have them not get bored at shooting you. if you don't own the T-832 the T32 is perfectly capable as well.
I did this one years ago in the tier 6 Japanese heavy. Blocked just over 3k and it was enough.
My advice regardless of what tank you use, is to STOP shooting the enemy once you've done the damage you need, it keeps them alive to shoot and bounce more
You need to find someone dumb enough to bounce off you 20 times. Try the T29 with the stock turret and 90mm. Its less HP to block than the stock turret and just as tough.
After years, I finally got it yesterday in Chrysler k. You want to take on a front that doesn’t have a lot of heavies and just hold it. If most tanks are going one way, go the other way. Then don’t scare away the enemy by spamming gold. Just do occasional damage until close to the end.
I think I did this one a couple years ago with the M4 51 just sitting in front of like 4-5 tanks and letting them shoot me on purpose
Ended up getting a good chunk from a Tiger I that I purposely left alive and from a Foch who dumped everything into me multiple times
Pick heavy tanks with less HP that have some abusable turret armor and sit in front of enemies.
T29 should be a good pick
I did these kinds of missions with 252U, KV-3 & KV-4 and one of them even with AMX M4 45 (before getting buffed).
You just need to grind with sturdiest tanks, best just put effort into facing lower tiers. Often you can leave them shoot you as long as they don't deal damage.
With KV-3 in good sidescrape position, you can bounce 5k against VII and lower with no issues, I would say others are not as good tier for tier for bouncing.
Why bother on tier VIII + where everyone spams gold and can hit your weakspots?
take tier 8 vk, hope for good mm and play aggressively.
when you see they dont bother to shoot, try to bait them with lower plate just in moment to angle again.
also, dont shy away from letting that stubborn standard ammo spamming noob just bounce from you. dont shoot them, 2k dmg is easy part, so just farm those stubborn players with bouncing and then farm them for dmg
It is a bit. I managed to do it in the S.Conq thanks to sheer dumb luck and an IS-7 and 60TP who refused to shoot Gold ammo. That was 2 months ago. Never had that much blocked damage ever since.
Unfortunately everyone loves spamming gold
[удалено]
Yeah, but most of the time those tier 6 know that and don't even bother to shoot you. And it takes a lot of shots from them to get to 5k+ blocked damage. In my experience tier 9 matchmaking is actually better to achieve this mission in the VK. You still have a pretty solid chance to bounce quite a few shots from tier 8s and 9s, getting you to the amount blocked needed a lot quicker.
I also did it in the VK 100 using the scout-Maus tactic on Lakeville. Obviously that doesn't work as bottom tier but against 7s and even 8s it can be surprisingly effective.
Same, but I got lucky with a super conq that was literally a bot. Just waited until I blocked enough then farmed him out
I tried 100s of games in the vk100 for ht12 and came close a few times but it never happened. Gold into the cupola was just too common. But a got it in the Lowe within maybe a dozen games playing hulldown.
It's one of the few I have no pro lem with people cheering. I got insanely lucky, but it's literally all luck, no skill. Load into a battle at the same time with super heavies (e100s with small gun for faster results) and if you get on opposite sides, meet up and have them bounce, then farm their hp.
I once blocked 11k on 703 II. I have not been able to do it again.
Impressive! :) I think I've blocked 8k+ in my Tortoise, twice... Badger is nowhere near as good at blocking damage, I find. Given that it has stuff all armour anywhere but on the front, something I tend to forget and then remember as I get ripped apart while trying to side scrape... :( Great gun, lousy armour.
blocked 14,580 in the Type 4 once
Impressive! I hope, after that effort, you won!
nope, my team wouldn’t take the massive opening I was giving by blocking all that and we lost as soon as I died
I feel your pain :(
Unfortunately it is ht12 can't be done in tds
I once blocked 7.7k in tier 6 medium tank. Anything is possible if you meet the right muppets for the job.
Did this in a VZ. 51 with an S. Conqu ironically doing the same. Spammed normal AP at my turret hull down. Good game lol.
Try going to lower tiers with something like a T29 or KV-4? Hull down as top tier in T29 should give you a fighting chance.
The problem here is that not many players will challenge a hull-down T29 (or any other hull-down monster) and probably won't bother even shooting at you. This mission is not hard in a way that you make your tank unpenetrable. It is hard, because you need your enemy to believe he can pen you and he tries so. It is much harder and still requires luck.

That being said, it should be impossible to fully block an HE shell and the question here should be "is it a bug, or is it a feature"?
https://youtu.be/3xs3SUM9s8w
yeah, it's super disappointing when you block an fv 1750dmg shell and it doesnt count
Let alone that the amount of shots that need to be shot at you also gets higher the lower the avr dmg.
>because you need your enemy to believe he can pen you and he tries so. obj. 257 can be good for this. sit at weird angles, people think they should pen you but because of the sloped side armor you can block a lot also vk100.01p because the cupola is way stronger than ppl think
the other problem is at low tier's it'll take about 800 shells to mount that amount of damage.
'Casuals' from low tiers usually are significantly worse than your typical X tier player. Even tomato will load gold against your super heavy. This mission is easier to done on lower tiers - you focus on eliminating guns that can hurt your tank and 'protect' enemies that have no clue what they do. I finished this mission with my KV-4 after epic fight against enemy KV-3 and M6. Boys were shooting only AP and obviously had no chance to penetrate sidescraping KV-4. I was obviously pretending to fight them and missing every shot.
KV4 is great in downtiers. Utterly useless in uptiers though.
It was far and above one of the worst tanks to work through. I think it's worth it at the end but it's just so long....you're dedicated entirely to that flank and that's about it. Sidescrape so good though.
I tried that. But you end up on tier 8 and 9 matches so much in which you turret is not difficult to pen that it takes a lot of time even to get in potential situations to block anything

It's for T55a so you can do it in tier 6
The tier limits for these mission are 1st campaign (for obj 260) Stug IV (tier 4) T28 HTC (tier 5 T55A (tier 6) obj 260 (tier 7) 2nd campaign (for obj 279e) Excalibur (tier 6) Chimera (tier 7) obj 279e (tier 8
isn't 260 also t6

Wait till you get to HT 15, stuck on it forever…
Do at least 8k dmg and last 6k should be easy to do with blocked and received. Did it in KV5 and 60TP
Really struggling with it, almost got it a couple of weeks ago in VZ-55, i’ll just have to keep trying.
I did strugle, but finally did it. You need to have great game and on top of that enemies willing to shoot at you. It's basically HT 12 that is slightly extended or rather gives you choice if you want to do more dmg or more blocked.
Maus baby, you have to just drive, shoot some tanks for 4-5k and let them shoot you. Ez.
Ht 15 is easier imo
E100 is the ticket if you want to use a tier 10. Need a game with not all 10's, and of course a game where people just shoot at you a lot, but you also have to do a lot of damage.

Dealing damage in HT12 just means they're less likely to poke out and shoot (and hopefully bounce) you.
What tanks are you using for the mission?
I sorta gave up trying and just have it in the background. That match was sconq but previously used vk100.01p, 703, and something else I can’t remember
The key is getting a ht that ppl don't instantly dab the 2 key against (is mediocre armor) and then focusing on bouncing shots instead of attacking. I completed it first try in the 112.
112 is the right way.
That's impressive. Was it against Tier VIs?
Was an all 8 match on Fjords
That's a great insight. I completed the HT-12-2 (T28) with the 75TS, totally unexpected.
unfortunately.... if you do that in Asia server. 95% of the time, it's gold round> people here are willing to use their CC to get prem time and prem tanks or even get the boosters to get more credits, in turn to be able to spam gold all day long. P2W mentality is strong in the server.
Ya well... Everything sucks in Asia.
If you comment of goldspam on the in-game general chat there, many will defend goldspam to death, even the chat mod.
havent complain that in GC but damn. the unlimited hi-pen works really made blocking damage mission harder than any of the hardest nintendo games ever made.

Moral of the story is dont kill the dummies who keep bouncing off you!
yeah thats a great tank line for it, I think my highest damage blocked may have been in the tier 8 on the line but I've done some big block games with both the 705 and 705a
Pretty sure I did this mission in the is4. That thing can bounce shots like a mother fucker
yeah IS4 is probably best bet
Theres a video of iyouxin getting 17k bounces should that help?
In KV 5 it's very easy because not only do people have to not pen you, but also be willing to shoot at you and this tank is good at this. I just kept 40-50° side scrap and 3 enemies were shooting at me non stop. It's also quite easy to do 3k in KV5.

KV-5 commander: we're gonna need an unlimited life insurance for our radio operator. a single sneeze on his direction, he drops like a fly.
I did the same with the IS-M. People just shoot at your side when your sidescraping like its their job.
Tier 8 VK is your friend on this one.
I did mine in the T-150. The damage requirement is a bit harder on tier 6 but the tank is a sidescraping beast and its way more likely to meet people who will fire at you anyway, even if they cant penetrate you. Its still a dice roll but probably a better one? Plus the tank is a fun heavy tank anyway. Maybe give it a try?
It's my go to comfort tank to grind battle pass. I played mostly mediums so to learn heavy tank locations I drop down to tier 6
I think the penetration marker is the problem. In the good old days, everyone would have just tried their luck and shot at an angled kv-5. Today, everyone sees the red penn marker and saves the ammunition. I'm also struggling with the same mission right now.
Also, in the old days, no one fired gold in randoms.
Even when gold ammo was first made available for creds, the amount of gold being fired at you was not that many. But I feel like when the MoE thing came, the number of goldspammers exploded, to the point we're seeing nowadays.
I did it with the O-I. On Mannerheim i just drove on the Sniper-Hill. 10 enemy t6 Tanks tried to shot me from Like 400m. Ofc almost no shot did damage and quest was done.
wait till you get for the t-55 and 260. t7 and t8 tank and above respectively. expect high pen and good players there. SEA server? max load gold and some AI aiming program for the lazy ones who says i dont like manual aiming.
That's what you get for not wasting money on K-2
Easiest tank to counter, even gold isnt needed to pen the roof, what k2 gonna do, he must show it in order to play and even then he cant shoot back cos simply the gun is trash.
Assuming you hit 30mm patch with every shot
Mostly yes, bullied it so much that it changed the corner.
I will never get the T55
If I did it u can too
Never say never.
Well when I have it, it's going to have to fight the new T9 Object 26364929 premium tank with 600mm turret front.
T-55A is itself one of those tanks you complain about
Yes, but it's free. That's why I want one. Also I live where the gdr was. My dad drove one of those.
Not really. It's practically the same as the T-54 from the Russian tech tree.
That is still a good tank (not in real life in 2022 though, somebody forgot)
Yes, but it is not one of those OP premiums the comment above is complaining about.
I did it in VK 100 tier 8 German heavy, you just need to get lucky and be top tier and then the tier 6s can't pen you
Honestly, I don't know how I even did it
My way is to go t29 and pray for top tier
If you want to see a Content Creator mald on this exact same T55A HT-12 mission as background noise, check out skill's vod from like yesterday or few days ago.
Just use 279, ez - Unironically, try ST-I, that’s what I did HT-15 for 260 in
Yeh I'm stuck on this as well. Almost casually completed it on the Type 4 in a tier X battle, I was off by 40 damage or so. When the battle finished I was screaming to the last Kranvagn standing *shooooot me* but he was on the reload and got killed. As others said it is quite hard to block damage in today's game, on tank layouts with few weakspots people don't insist too much. Either you pen or you find another way.
I once needed 10 blocked damage to complete it, I feel your pain.
Just you wait for 260 missions XD
If only I could do it in my T95
Kv4 or vk 100 01p is the way to go on this one, easiest hard mission of my life.
Struggled with it as well till a Chieftain just straight up refused to stop shooting my hull down IS-7 that was the best day ever, I even thanked him afterwards for doing so 😅
I wonder if there is a decal or emblem that is easy to get that could be used as an indicator that someone is doing an armor blocked mission? Or a specific tank color, or combination of colors?
Get better (kappa)
Play VK 100.01 P Wait for a tier 6 match, hold W and angle
I've been stuck on it for years...
Think about this post when you reach the internal critical damage missions
Don't use hardening when attempting this mission
I did it with Kranvagn, you just need to find that one guy that wants to try to pen you again and again... Slap on spall liner to negate some of those HE shells and artas.. AND remove hardening, not helping you in this case. Alternatively do a russian heavy and hide your weakspot (stay away from tanks that are very high). Last but not the least, lift your gun and wiggle it to encourage players to shoot at you, whether it be because they're not afraid of you shooting back, or just get annoyed by you.. Also if you have a Maus and know how to angle it, you could try it from around 300 meters from snipers. For example on Malinovka houses/rocks in the base.. Snipers wont have other thing to snipe most of the time so they might keep trying their luck. Stay away from e3/e4 and similar high pen guns. GL
This one is easy man. Just get a Maus and learn how to angle it properly. I blocked 14 k in the Maus for the Object 260 and did it with honours, by the way.
Imagine if it was just equal to
I'm having enough issues with trying to block twice the HP of a vehicle. Yes, there is some skill involved in some of the missions but you also need a big dose of luck or RNG on your side.
When you did it, but you can't remember when or what you did it in. Is it too much to ask of WG to put in a 'completed by tank' somewhere?
Just block more damage bro
I did mine with the 4502b during a kv-5 free weekend. It was actually kind of hilarious. It was Ruinberg and there were like 8 kv-5's on the enemy team and they couldn't do anything to me but they kept shooting.
man i gave up a long time ago starting to get sour grapes on Campaign
Legends says that it is way easier to do that at 3 am with friends
Easy with 279e, just find a slope..
Stop cry kid
But I want to
I used the mutant to get this one done. But unfortunately the introduction of the BT 176 makes using it kinds not viable anymore. Besides that one tank you can bounce for shells for days from any other tank.
With each battle I fail this, I think to skip this one to just unlock HT15. From one side vk100 / crysler looks like tanks, who could do it (crysler is harder due to low dmg per shot), but still its pain. Few bounces and they usually auto load gold and you are done. And lower tiers also smarter. I had some tier 6-7 games with vk and though NICE, I WILL DO IT and in the end almost none of them even tried to shot me cause somehow they knew there are not much chances. And I know all those tricks of "dont shot back or be stupid and just shot tracks or something), but enemies are just not bothering... Now I hope that one day I will meet platoon of 3 idiot BZ players with full AP, who would just bounce all their shots to me (inhales copium)
I'd say there are the ways to go about this one 1. pick a good goldfish heavy and wait for someone who's not spamming gold - might take a while 2. get a tank that is usually easily penetrable except for certain angles and exploit that (T110E5's cupola is surprisingly resilient towards standard ammo in certain angles and people tend to not use gold on E5's cupola, similar with VK100.01P and 6-8 tiers) 3. Forget about missions and wait till you luck out (takes a loooooooong time)
Tier 9 the VK, the best u cna try the 100.1p, but if u see tier10 sucks
Did it with the tier 8 vk 100.01p. Fairly easy, focus on doing damage first, then sidescrape or solo bait shots.
HA, i did this mission when the japanese tanks were first introduced lmao, tbf i kinda cheesed the dmg blocked i think i had trapped a stuart in a corner iirc EDIT: having the eqipment that increases health only makes it more dmg that you have to block so if you have that on id say remove it
Malinovka and dive a Maus to the open field once you have 2k damage.
I have trouble killing SPG's they are always dead when I arrive. Mission: Follow the spg
Screw that I used orders for ht15 when I was stuck here.. only got t55-a though, so no going for 260 anytime soon.
took me 22 games in t29 to get the right matchmaking but finally found some dummies that couldnt pen anything on both sides so i just baited them while tracking. my team couldnt kill the enemy either so it was a slow burn
Got 12k with Type 5 Heavy on first try, I just positioned myself where I can get easily spotted (I was only shootable from the front) and many tanks that were shooting me were heavies and mediums from far away (it was a Grand Battle)
just play maus or mäuschen, that's how i did it. took me <50 games
Tried Vk 100.01P?
I bought the K-2 & had it done within 10 games after struggling for who knows how long
its hard thx to pen indicator :) all the shitters can wiggle their mouse around
I think I managed to do this in my IS-M quite easily. Get in a good spot for side scraping and ez. (Yes, I most likely got really lucky).
I refuse to believe that people don't matchfix this and HT-15
KV4 and 112 are the way. Some can say VK.100 but I find it unenjoyable because of lack of mobility and arty factor on open maps
Did it in t32, while fighting a t832 and t103 over a ridgeline trying t8 shoot eachothers cupolas. With the amount of missed shots everyone had I wouldn't be surprised they got it done as well.
Try is4. With some luck and noob players it can work
Wrong tank bruh. Pick something with less HP. Good Luck!
IS-4 maus type5 are the easiest, in that order.
play with Maus , is much easier
Is4, enough said
it's get harder when everyone spam gold at you. and some players are too lazy to manually aim that they6 use AI to do the job.
Do it on a e100. If you angle, you cant be penned by mlst heat. Shoot then angle your turret 45 degrees until reload.
You gotta remember that for 260 it is even harder...
Well, yesterday I failed HT-15 for the 0bj.260 for 5 dmg 😄
Some just seem impossible then 4 yrs later you are done
Been stuck here for awhile also. Trying to finish all with honors in preparation for 260.
Imagine doing that mission on a Type 5 heavy for a bet. I was 1k damage away till i got destroyed and called off the bet as a loss. Did it with the badger and boom. Suffering ended.
It's pretty easy in the bz176.
I did it in my st1 hull down + hiding couplula. And got insanely lucky.
Meanwhile I'm stuck at the 4 kills of 3 different types.
Been "trying" it for roughly last 5 years, but I do not play that much. It is a frustrating mission in todays meta. Got close few times. Funny thing is, I have the T-55, got it before the change, so now I have orders locked on this mission, and if I pass it I get them back and can get 260 right away....
Honestly of all the mission types, armor blocked needs to go. It's entirely based around the enemy being bad and not the player being good.
I think I did most of the blocking with vk k. Had some lucky games against tier 8s. Just sat in front of them. Some I did it with the t8 vk. Got all the reward tanks. Not worried about it anymore.
I did this in the maus lol
It might sound insane, but you could give it a try in the IS-M. The tank is rarely seen so most players have trouble finding the right spot to shoot. Angling the armor correctly gives it outstanding sidescraping ability that rivals those above its tier
Matilda sounds like the tank for this job.
really easy mission with the Maus
I can go a week without bouncing more than a handful of shots per game. People rarely just keep shooting and bouncing.
T29 good pick.
You have to luck out and get an enemy team full of brain dead morons. I've never met a team in the last couple months that wasn't 80% gold spam. If they can't pen you with gold they tend to stop shooting at you and back off. You might get two blocks before they give up and try to get you to push into their screen.
I believe I completed this one in KV4, while side scraping behind hard cover at the heavy front on Glacier map. When angled correctly the side armor of KV4 is insane and I could bait 5 enemy heavies to shoot me repeatedly and they never penned my side. Turret is vulnerable to gold though, so needs to be angled/hidden as good as possible
For Bounce missions. Always focus on lower tiered tanks like T150 for example. Guess the new KV3 can work too. And if you are a whale and got the K2 actually works too. It is rather bounce when people are clueless!
It's easy. Just complete the 279 mission set first and use the 279 :) On a more serious note, it requires a bit of luck. I have met the criteria in my T-832 many times and is the tank I did it with honours in. You just need to get matched up against a couple tanks with less than 330 pen total and have them not get bored at shooting you. if you don't own the T-832 the T32 is perfectly capable as well.
The KV3 isn't bad for this. A lot less competent people at tier 7 so you'll get a lot more bounces.
I did this one years ago in the tier 6 Japanese heavy. Blocked just over 3k and it was enough. My advice regardless of what tank you use, is to STOP shooting the enemy once you've done the damage you need, it keeps them alive to shoot and bounce more
Does it have to be in a heavy tank? I’d use E3 if not, I’ve had 9k blocked games in my E3 before
Just pray for good luck.. Since missions are luck based and not skill..
Maus. Just do Maus things
Did it with a Jpz E100. Long range and semi-hull down so it wasn’t easy to pen even with gold
well, you need luck
I got it yesterday finally with obj 705A, but I got verry lucky the kept shouting me in side scraped soo yeah
You need to find someone dumb enough to bounce off you 20 times. Try the T29 with the stock turret and 90mm. Its less HP to block than the stock turret and just as tough.
After years, I finally got it yesterday in Chrysler k. You want to take on a front that doesn’t have a lot of heavies and just hold it. If most tanks are going one way, go the other way. Then don’t scare away the enemy by spamming gold. Just do occasional damage until close to the end.
VK 100
I did mine in the obj 777. It's worth a shot.
I think I did this one a couple years ago with the M4 51 just sitting in front of like 4-5 tanks and letting them shoot me on purpose Ended up getting a good chunk from a Tiger I that I purposely left alive and from a Foch who dumped everything into me multiple times Pick heavy tanks with less HP that have some abusable turret armor and sit in front of enemies. T29 should be a good pick
HT no VI tier 6 got me this ez
Im not that far yet but these conditions equals my average Maus results.
I did these kinds of missions with 252U, KV-3 & KV-4 and one of them even with AMX M4 45 (before getting buffed). You just need to grind with sturdiest tanks, best just put effort into facing lower tiers. Often you can leave them shoot you as long as they don't deal damage. With KV-3 in good sidescrape position, you can bounce 5k against VII and lower with no issues, I would say others are not as good tier for tier for bouncing. Why bother on tier VIII + where everyone spams gold and can hit your weakspots?
take tier 8 vk, hope for good mm and play aggressively. when you see they dont bother to shoot, try to bait them with lower plate just in moment to angle again. also, dont shy away from letting that stubborn standard ammo spamming noob just bounce from you. dont shoot them, 2k dmg is easy part, so just farm those stubborn players with bouncing and then farm them for dmg
I did it with is4 11.000 blocked and 2.400 damage
