To my post that we should see gouges and dents in the armour for shell impacts: There are many pictures on google images of king tigers with gouges the size of coconuts where a sherman's 75mm shells actually glanced off the 5 inch. armour. They were at least 2-3 inches deep into the 7 in. armour of the king tiger ( it was actualy 5 in. thick, but with the 40 degree slope, it was 7 in.).

7 inches eh?

The Bismark only had 6.5 inches of armor at its thickest.

Bismark's thickest armor was 14.2" on the turrets and had a 12.6" belt.  King George V had 16" on the turrets and barbettes and 15" on the belt and bulkheads.  Iowa had 17" on turrets and barbettes, 12.1" on the belt and 14.5" on the bulkheads. Yamato had 25.6" on the turrets, 21.5" on the barbettes, 19.7" on the conning tower and 16.1" on the belt.

I can't speak to the Tiger II though.

the king tiger's armour was actually 5 in. but  40 degrees= 7 in. don't believe me? take out a piece of paper, make 2 parallel lines 5 in. apart and at 40 degrees. lines should be 10 in. long. measure the space between the lines going straight across. It will be around 7 in. across.

Are you trying to say the the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the sides?

Have you consulted Pythagoras about this?

Look i am not good at math seeing I'm only 14 so please stop badgering me. I am good at history and quantum mechanics and am trying to get a grasp on calculus and trig so i can go to oxford. I try to make it so that anyone can check my reasoning's with that "experiment"

no american. I prefer oxford because they have a better quantum field than most.

I am good at history and quantum mechanics


Why do these two concepts seem to clash?

trying to get a grasp on calculus and trig


I suggest learning the trig first...

I try to make it so that anyone can check my reasoning's with that "experiment"


It's not an experiment, it is a mathematical equation. 
Experiments have variable outcomes, mathematical equations do not.  There is a marked difference between the two.

quantum mechanics involve trig and calculus, that's why it seems to clash, i think. and yes i knew that mathematical equations of fixed outcomes. i just wanted to do "experiment" because it was my little experiment that i did when i was bored with nothing else to do. Ty for the advice though

That is what clashes.  How can you be good at Quantum Mechanics if you are not good at math?

my "intelect" is that of a 14 year old student with an I.Q. of 156 studying military history, human history, and quantum mechanics getting ready for oxford. i do not want to get into proper grammar, punctuation, and English comp. because this is a forum, not school. i don't  really care what you bring up to make me look like a subnormal human being, whether its my English, spelling or whatever. I can easily answer any question about any of the vehicles in here with 99% certainty that i am correct. Forgive me if i do not wish to check if my English is correct in my post which most of the time, only get 20 comments from complete strangers who i bet get most of the info of planes and ground vehicles from t he internet. notice i said most, not all, if you do not do that.

He wasn't doing that, he was simply saying that if you can't even type accurately in your mother language, then why should we believe what you have to say on vehicles or whatever?

because at quantum mechanics, i easily understand the physics of it and can predict outcomes of certain situations. i just cant prove them yet. i have books on the subject and predict the out come of a certain experiment in the books and continue reading to see if i was correct. its the only way i can study it with out taking the trig and calculus classes, which i will take in the 9th grade
