Question: Pen1 Arm4 @ 18 degrees

[Mobhack]

And recall that in our games slope is the horizontal offset - its nothing to do with the vertical inbuilt slope of the tank, that is already factored into the basic armour value.

It's perfectly possible for a shot that's quite capable of penetrating the front armour of an AFV to miss slightly and hit the side armour at an acute angle. The "thinner" side value is then multiplied by a large slope factor and the shot skitters off.
