Forum post with lots of good information on the spaced armour of the St Chamond, it was only fitted on the sides. There is zero mention of frontal spaced armour.
Hey, i’ve actually got access to the original Manuals of the Saint Chamond, the document is in french, but fortunately i can understand it just fine.
The document shows that the saint chamond had tree layers of side armor, 8.5mm + 8.5mm + 6.5mm so it had 22.5mm of side armor, not 17mm.
And the frontal armor was double layered! 2 plates of 11mm for a total of 22mm of frontal armor! The angle of the upper frontal part of the armor is also wrong, in-game the upper plate it’s angled at 36° when in reality, the angle should actually be 45°
I already opened a issue report on it, so we can get the tank to have the correct armor layout but first we need to get their attention! Here’s the report if you want to support it:

Im fairly certain the K.Gr.15 m.P. and m.P m.L. of 6,85 and 7 kg at even 470 and 465 m/s from the L/27 can go through it even with extra armor.
