That would make no sense. It wouldn't negatively affect a tank to have shell hits 70-90 degrees being truncated at 70, infact it would help the tank, since hits impacting flat on the armor would register as hits at 30degrees off of perpendicular. Somethin like this:   \\ <==    as opposed to   [] <==   .

See what I'm saying? I think AWwrgwy is correct. Shells impacting perpendicular to the armor are 0 degrees, while shell hits parralel to the armor are 90 degrees

You can't have a 90 degree hit.  That passes parallel to the armor.  0 degrees is a maximum force hit as it has no deflection.  Treating a hit with 85 degrees of deflection as a 70 degree hit adds penetrating power that shouldn't be there.

OK, I see what you are saying karnak. Ty for the help.


0 degrees is perpendicular to the armor.
