Armour are often not taken into consideration in the design as armour constitutes more material and thus a heavier aircraft which would inhibit its performance due to weight penalty. Armour can be found in both air and ground vehicles in War Thunder and plays a very important role to the vehicle's survivability.Īrmour modifier applies to both types of penetrators, unless specified.Įxternal composite armour with NERA elementsĪrmour on aircraft are often minimum and focused on vital sections rather than on the overall airframe. 3.2.1.1 Calculating sloped armour effective thicknessĪrmour is the basic defense an entity has against threats.In a normal engagement with equal crews, only food, ammo and fuel would limit the destructive capabilities of a modern MBT in an egagement against Tiger II adversaries. Even with a far superior crew, a perfect situation, and an ambush, a Tiger II would have to hit a very small small target at very close range with the best angles to kill a modern MBT. Also, you must factor in the advancement of the DU shells used in the M1 series even the HEAT rounds in tanks would go through the plain steel of Tiger II like butter. In addition, target aquisition and engagement systems on modern MBTs are beyond superior the M1A1 engaged tanks in Gulf 1 at night ranges that Tiger II couldn't dream of attaining during the day. Tigers traveled extremely slow (35-42/14-30 km/h for on/off road respectively a Leopard 2 travels twice that fast, has a faster moving turret, and is much more manevuerable, all huge advantages in combat. Tiger IIs not only would have huge firepower and protection disadvantages, but modern MBTs are immensely superior in speed and maneuverability. Also, we are forgetting a huge factor movement.
