Which is causing allot of shells to penetrate the plate, and bounce on the hull armor
Total armor thickness required to penetrate is ~130mm
Ammunition Used: Regular AP shells: M46 Patton, T34, T30
Range: 0m
(90 degree = perpendicular to the hull, 0 degree = parallel to the hull)
220mm pen at 70 degrees = Failed to penetrate
250mm pen at 60 degrees = Failed to penetrate
270mm pen at 45 degrees = Failed to penetrate
Is the 30mm plate meant to be this effective at causing AP shells to bounce on the hull?
Overlord: It's not side skirt that gives most of the protection. Let me
explain. Being practically not sloped it just gives additional
30mm, however the side armour itself is rather tricky, first of
it's highly sloped and what's more important it's hidden from
players being covered by side skirt. So it's really hard to figure
out the actual impact angle.
So in the worst case we can get approx up to 70deg angle which makes: 90/cos70+30=293mm of effective thickness. It's maximum angle of course. Usually things are better.
