1)Does armour slope increase chance of deflection or does it only increase the effective thickness of the armour? Or is it one and the same thing?
2) Placing a unit hull down on the revese slope of a rise which has an obvious (visual) increase in armour slope, does this actually affect the effective slope of the armour or is it just cosmetic? I am so used to playing games like Combat Mission where shoot and scoot from a reverse slope is so effective. I havent been able to replicate it in WOT (granted my playing time is short). Reason being is I have just got to Hetzer and that AFV has huge advantages attacking from a reverse slope (thin armour).
I only started playing this game a week ago and I am in seventh heaven
MrVic: Effects both
Shallower slope greatly increases armor effective thickness (usually what happens when you fire a 225mm pen weapon at a 30mm tank and get a bounce)
Also the deflection chance alone increases greatly.
I had a good example a few weeks ago IS-7 fired a round at my SU-85, I was turning at the time the round hit my side armor at about
10 degree sloped angle.
the round bounced, due to the angle my effective armor was about 240mm plus deflection of such a shallow angle
