tracks might absorb some of the HE damage. But side armor includes
many areas not covered by tracks/spaced armor. Esp. when you have
large boxy turrets like the E100, the Maus.or the Godzilla
tanks. With tanks that rely on pre-angled armor like most russian
tanks it doesn't really matter either way as their nominal front
armor is often not better than their side armor (and why the 268v4
for example is very vulnerable against large-caliber HE rounds as
the 100mm upper plate doesn't absorb much).eekeeboo: As you're aware of the HE damage you will also be aware of
both tracks and angling of armour also affects the radius expansion
of HE damage. The E100 for instance (as given in the above example)
has spaced skirt then tracks then hull. The gap between the skirt
and the side of your turret is sizeable when angled properly.
Angling your tank doesn't just mean point your tank at 45 as
you know, it means... angle the flat bits and don't make it easy
for your enemy to pen you. Absorbing some is better than none. This
is the point, it's a matter of attitude and approach, not doing any
of it because it doesn't help can be the difference of 10hp and
getting a chance at another shot and not.
