Günzel for Kanzler Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Hi, the Tiger turret data of CMBB/AK says something like "82mm/0". Now, since the turret is round, only a direct hit into the very center of the turrets side surface would be at "0 degree" angle, provided Tiger and opponent are at roughly the same level. Any deviation of the round, either left or right from the center of the turret, would give an angle increasing with further deviation. I believe the engine considers angular side shots for even surfaces, but does the engine consider this for things like the Tiger turret side as well, or does it simply use "82mm/0" for all turret side hits? And while im at it: Although it would expose one side, but just at a steep angle, would it be use to position your tank with a slight angle to enemy tanks or guns, so the front except the turret gains some 10-15% angle? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 CMBB does replicate curved armour for small highly curved pieces like the Panther mantlet - I don't know why it wasn't extended to the Tiger turret. The trick about placing your vehichle at an angle to expected incoming fire was known at the time and remarked upon - I'm sure it has been discussed here in the dim distant past! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow 1st Hussars Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 The angle is measured vertically, not horizontally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
