Default Re: Armour ratings

Sloping is also factored in for the armor rating. So a T34 with hull front armor 9 will have considerably less than 90mm of armor plate, but it's slope will give it equivalent of about 90mm protection at 0 degrees.
There's a formula out there somewhere on the boards which shows how slope is factored in (standard mathematics afaik). Haven't got it myself.
