King tiger turret armour

[DRG]

We've used a specialized calculator for this for years and I get the same result Claus does ( 182mm ) = 18cm (rounded down). To round up to 19 you need 185mm and you don't get 185mm on 180mm of armour until the slope reaches 13 degrees.

Hi Don,CBO
Well I should have checked this further, Tarriffs site has from memory (its currently down) 180 @ 81 (19) degrees, but interestingly this site
http://www.wwiivehicles.com/germany/...zkpfw-vi-b.asp
quotes amongst other thicknesses,
185@80° ie 20 degrees
with rounding up the latter figures give you a value of 20.
Best Regards Chuck.
