Do you angle up but then you risk getting shot in the lower plate but might have more chance of transmission and engine blocking the shot or do you angle mid-way down so they shoot the upper plate and have bounces?
point directly at the target.
the designers gave the cheese wedge the perfect angles on both topside and bottom to be able to deflect shots when the gun is directly in line with target.
also keep in mind that any angle of incidence above 80Β° causes an auto ricochet for most if not all ammunition

iβm talking when pointing directly at target and taking direct fire but i can still sometimes lift up and down the angle,and my question is should i leave it as neutral as possible or do i try to angle it more up or down in function of where the enemy is?
there are some munitions that are just too powerful to deflect. theres not much yu can do against those. i cant list em but youll get an idea as you keep playing.
as for the ones you can deflect, just keep neutral.
the on situation where you should lift up is IF you have dug an entrenchment for your tank and are hull down inside it. so after you fire, you can reverse a bit and lift up just enough that the upper plate makes a very steep angle for the incoming shells but not so far up that your lower plate gets exposed
i sometimes wiggle up and down depending on how bad my position is
has worked a strange amount of times
In that br the cheese wedge could possibly face:
DM23 | M48A2GA2, Leopard A1A1, TAM, OF40 Mk2
M111 | Olifant Mk1, Magach 5/6R/6B/Hydra
Type-83 APDS | ZTZ59D1, ZTZ88A/B
M1000A1 |T-55M
OFL 105 G1 | SK105 variants
OFL 105 F1 | AMX-30B2
DYW1 | PTZ89
M774 |M60TTS
Shot L23 | Chieftain MK10
DYW PT-86-100 | PTL02

^ All goes clean through it, can assume that it ainβt stopping any in an uptier
