understood penetration to be a straight forward (albeit
complicated) physics equation. Is the normal distribution some form
of compensation for a complex calculation? I didn't see that
mention in the dev discussion on penetration.merig00: It's a form of compensation for a simplified model 
All we have is a penn of a
projectile at a given distance hitting an armor plate at a given
angle, so to compensate for a faulty shell or a crack in tank
armor. And of course for balance reasons to simply give a chance
for a lower tier to penetrate higher tier or to survive a hit we
have a normal distribution of penetration and damage.
