ITTY BITTY LITTLE KITTY (In early 1942!)

[McIvan]

The Sherman gun is more powerful than the Grants, but even with the Grant I would expect it to penetrate more often than not.

With curved armour, the game does actually work out the angle of the hit.....so it can be anywhere from zero degees to whatever the maximum was in real life. It usually won't be thirty degrees but something less.

Also bear in mind that 50mm + 20mm does not equal 70mm of protection, but rather something like 64mm or so (I can't remember the exact formula...think its thickest plus 70% of smallest).

Without running a test, I'd say that a 6pdr would have no trouble getting through a PIII with 70mm armour at 500m.
