Quote:And so the 'sloping' of thin (10 to 25mm) would have a significant effect on the effectiveness of such weapons against them.
Assuming you're engaging combat on a pool table-esque surface.
It doesn't a lot of effort for an infantry unit to negate any armour slope advantage within the natural topography of a 250m hex.

Here is some interesting reading:
Quote: The following information about the use of the Russian antitank rifle was originally published in the Red Star, official Soviet Army publication:
"In the preparation of antitank fire, the rifleman should select five or six key reference points at different ranges, measure the distance to them, and study the intervening terrain. When actually firing, he should fire at stationary tanks whenever possible and not take leads at ranges over 400 yards. Aim should always be taken at the vulnerable parts, taking advantage of any hesitation or exposure of the sides of the enemy tanks.
"Antitank defense must be drawn up so as to protect the antitank rifle units fully, by means of all available obstacles, mines, and fire power."
