Abbott Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 The colored lines for armor thickness/quality? On the T-34 in the demo scenario there are two shades of yellow and two shades of green graph bars. I notice that there are two lines at the bottom of the vehicle icon.

Michael Emrys Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 They represent side armor: upper hull and lower hull. A little confusing at first; I thought they represented belly armor. But they had to put them somewhere. I guess they could have used an overhead view... Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryphon Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 Rear turret (m)| Side turret(m) |Front turret (g) Rear u. hull(g)| Side u. hull(g)|Front u. hull(vg Rear l. hull(g)| Side l. hull(m)|Front l. hull(vg armor protection: m = moderate g = good vg = very good Of course the colors mean a certain armor range, for example yellow is equivalent to 20-40mm @ 0 deg. But i replaced it by letters since i don't know the exact ranges Hope this helps. Regards, Gryphon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 One other thing which might not be easily apparent at first (but hey, that's what the printed manual is for), is that the numbers of a gun's penetration chart (select unit, hit ENTER) are color-coded using the same reference colors as the "armor bars". So when you see penetration figures in yellow, and the armor bar is yellow, it means that there's a decent chance that you will score a kill.

Don't you mean penetration, not kill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big X Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 ahh, was wondering exactly what this meant. At first, I thought the bars on the bottom were for belly armor too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
