Not sure about armor thickness as a whole, but I know late production used a monocular instead of a binocular gunsight (thus one less hole in the armor) and reinforced the armor around it. |
That unit has had that armour rating for as far back as I have OOB's and a MOBHack that will read them that old ( Dec 2002 ) and this is the first time it's been questioned. I don't have a definitive answer other than given the number of German detail freaks who have had issues with the OOB over the years ( including info/debates/arguments regrading German armour hardening techniques) that this one, on the Tiger of all vehicles, would have be wrong all these years is very long odds but now *I'M* curious so I'll see what I can find ( or what info others can dig up ) between now and next years upgrade.
That said the first three issues on this thread (Stielgranate / BKanone / Marder gun )have been corrected
