I'm glad you brought this up. I checked back and the OOB's have been this way for over a decade and you are correct, there were no turret armour upgrades for the Tiger I front turret aside for details that are trivial in game terms.

After a couple hours digging up info and emails exchanged on two continents factoring in the variations of mantle thickness with the actual turret front armour where it and the mantle overlap then averaging those values to arrive at one number we could use what was arrived at was the 1944 Tiger in the game has the correct armour value and the pre 1944 version only took into account average mantle thickness.

The bottom line is Unit #376 has the correct armour and unit #31 and #849 have now been corrected to match #376.

Congratulations......they had been like that for over 11 years and you were the first one to notice and comment.
