Another point is that any slight change in height in the ground makes it miss. I missed at least 5 shots straight on a disabled KV8 from mid range on Minsk pocket before I realised what was going on.
Wrong.
If you roll a hit, it will always hit.
If you scored a hit by a miss and good scatter roll, THAT can be stopped by terrain.
Using frontal armor might help with that.
"Tests" were made by extremely biased german fanboy on official forums and you can see the idiocy of these tests yourself.
Or maybe you actually can't as you try to use it as an argument.
Hint: you don't fight other tanks with rear armor pointed to their guns.
Dude, those commanders are not even in live, those videos are almost a year old and were mead in a breach to the non disclosure rules back then. Why do we discuss this?
Once new commanders go in you'll probably hear about it.
I would love you to explain us then how it is possible that the wehr one was used last week on relic live stream.
But its armor makes extremely good except vs panther/tiger.Especially this is its large adv when facing stugs/pz 4s which are around by the time it comes around.That armor is worth 5 fuel at least more than t-34/85.
Both tiger and panther will penetrate it 100% of the time, armor is completely irrelevant against them.
Its armor matters only against wehr T3 and pumas, but pumas shouldn't be fighting heavier armor as they are light tank destroyers and ost T3 will have amazing AT support from T2.
