Please please please, for the love of gold and green. BUFF THE SUPER PERSHING...

The_Chieftain:   If they can hit it reliably, especially at range, then your point is valid enough. On the other hand, a significant portion of the front turret -is- well armoured, and compared to many other tanks with less depression, SP also makes a smaller target. Maybe I was just playing 'old SP' wrong, and should have exposed my hull more, but since I didn't, I'm not finding any limitations added to my playstyle since.  

The_Chieftain:   I am old-fashioned, I use "Good enough for government work" as "of highest standard." The original meaning. One of those bizarre phrases that depending on who you talk to, can mean two entirely different things.   Although I share your concern about the interior plate, I think your reasoning is flawed: The Kessel photographs themselves seem far from conclusive. Due to shadows, all I can see is that the 'inner' plate in the game model is a little short on the right side of the tank, the side with the bow MG, the critical piece is the top, where the plates meet the blower housing, and the photos I have seen do not show them.   That said, the verbal description by Cooper indicates to me that the inner sheet should go all the way to the top, and the drawing (granted, one with some question marks) in Hunnicutt matches this. I don't know what Minsk's plan is, I'll ask.
