A factory rebuild would certainly be needed for the *suspension*, to get full mobility despite the extra weight. You are the first person I know who thinks it was hard to bolt on the plates themselves. Since they were sometimes sheered off by hits, I find it hard to credit. Do you think 2 pdrs are failing at 500 yards in the first half of 1941 against 30mm armor on unimproved Gs? Give me the quote and or info Jason, running around and just saying that ausf G were uparmoured does not make it true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexford Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 According to my calculations and British firing test data, 2 pdr AP would penetrate 50mm of face-hardened armor at 500m on half the hits (no side angle from firer to plate facing). Hits on front of PzKpdw III Ausf J could fail at 500 yards with a bit of a side angle, especially if they landed on the nose armor.
