This means that our shell didn’t pierce enemy armor, thus inflicted no damage.

Armor with thickness of 100mm with an impact angle of 40 equals to 131mm of steel.

The following table show how much armor thickness increases depending on the impact angle of out shot.

In addition it is worth noting, that the shell with impact angle greater than 70 will automatically ricochet.

This can be used during the fight, which will be presented later in this guide.

As if that were not enough,some tanks have several layers of armor(so calledspaced armor).

PC

Our shell will just penetrate weaker external armor but will rebound on the inner, significantly stronger one.

Location of layered armor on various tanks will be discussed later in this guide.

The last import and information relation to vehicles' armor penetration ispenetration randomization.

Thus it can either ricochet on 80 mm armor or penetrate armor plate of 130 mm thickness.
