IS-2 Lower Plate change

Doesnt make a bug difference, its gonna fight german tanks which have around 190 (starting with 5.0), and tanks with 240 mm pen (5.7-6.0).

It angled and have tracks over it. With shooting from above angle will be bigger.

On the screenshot we can see its about 165 mm thich with that angle, tracks add about 10 mm to that, still pennable by what it faces in downtiers.

It’s 130 mm CHA meaning it is 122.2 mm RHAe. Angled at 30° that gives 141 mm LoS thickness.

Track armor is 30 mm at 30° meaning 22.5 mm RHAe, so it adds an extra 26 mm in LoS thickness for a total of 167 mm LoS thickness.

Keep in mind, that value does not take into account denormalization of the round.
