So what parts should we be looking at to get the best idea for the hull armour, as those documents are a bit buggery to read
It’s just connect the dots really
IE
A12 is a square on the left it will tell you the thickness it should be over that area

Rodger that mate, will take me some time to get this figured out over all then.
Thanks though!
The resolution is so low on mobile I can’t see what squares are what
It’s a screenshot of my screenshot lol I’ll get a better one soon.
That would explain it lol I’m just wondering the photo with the measurements showing it having upto potentially 17 inches of effective thickness I find it hard to figure out how it reaches that number because the UFP would need a slope of around 78degrees to acheive anything near that
He doesn’t have the tape parallel to the ground.
So the angle isn’t the slop of the metal.
NGL mate doesn’t seem far off parralel to the ground but OFC would need to do a proper level test for it to be certain,
Don’t get me wrong thouhg, chieftains upper frontal glacis has about a 72 degree slope

It has about that , between 72 and 76 last I checked
Also having a gander at your report, some of those pieces of armour are coming up to about 8 inches no? that’s nearly 200MM thick.

They are
And they are in game for the most part
In game seems as if they’re missing armour no
Yes but lining up a shot in a similar place as the cutaway your not reaching the effective thickness as seen in the photo

The issue I have with this measurement is that it’s been done at the wrong angle. The Chieftain’s glacis plate is sloped back at 18 degrees from the horizontal. The tape measure and plate are angled at 12 degrees ergo tape measure angle is wrong by 6 degrees from the horizontal LOS

That’s what I had assumed as well
