not 100% sure where your values come from. the top 1/2 will have:
116mm(1.0) + 30mm(1.0) + 400mm(0.98) + 50mm(1.0)
bottom 1/3 will have:
116mm(1.0) + 10mm(1.0) + 30mm(1.0) + 400mm(0.98) + 50mm(1.0)
however the front triangle is as we know angled, this reduces its protection vs APFSDS to 103mm.
so:
103mm(1.0) + 30mm(1.0) + 400mm(0.98) + 50mm(1.0) = 575 KE
103mm(1.0) + 10mm(1.0) + 30mm(1.0) + 400mm(0.98) + 50mm(1.0) = 585 KE

this doesnt account for the rotor pin situation

It’s 70mm, we know the mantlet’s angle is 53 degrees.

Why does it look so dirty?Is there still a layer of armor outside?

I think it was resolved eventually, we just need to wait for the challenger remodel

So it seems we have to wait until March
