Facing up to it

This T34 was facing in the wrong direction and never knew what hit him...

While its preferable to offer an as small as possible profile to an enemy gun/tank, armor protection is in fact better for the T-34 in the middle of this picture. The additional (horizontal) angle adds more effective armor protection, as well as some increased chance for a bounced shot. So if possible, approach the enemy not at a clean 12 o clock angle, but rather at a more advantageous 11 or 1 o clock. If you´ve to maintain a particular attack direction, zig zagging does the trick.
