Hello.
I’ve recently watched a video, featuring 2017’ Leopard 2A5, from April Fools event. I found it interesting how it showed effective KE and CE protection for hull and turret, just like in real-life info tables, not only showing the thickness of outer armor, which is essentially a useless piece of information for top tier.
It would indeed be more proper to see effective KE/CE values, where it actually would matter to look at when choosing for a future top-tier vehicle you’re gonna go for. This, of course, will heavily depend on where the shot may be taken, but same issue is consistent to some WW2 vehicles too, in fact (usually that have cast armor).
Fun fact: T-60 already has sort of effective armor shown: it’s 15mm thick plate placed at 70 degrees from normale is stated as 35mm in stat card. However, T-60 is not a modern battle tank.
The change is simple: on modern tanks, starting from T-64A, XM803, AMX 40, etc. all the way up to top-tier tanks like T-90M, M1A2, Leclerc, replace hull armor and turret armor with KE&CE hull protection, and KE&CE turret protection, either as two separate lines or through a /, slash. The former option is more suitable, as there will be no confusion with using multiple slashes for different purposes.
