If you put track armor in a position where it’s likely that shells will be coming at a 90* angle towards your armor, it will be more effective due to there simply being more material there for the shell through.
With slopes it gets a little more complicated. Tracks are not made from armor, the steel that makes up armor plate and tracks are two completely different things, and tracks are a much softer type of steel. This means that on a slope, like the front plate of a T-34 or a Sherman for example when you put soft tracks there it can lead to excessive shell normalization.
Shell normalization is a term where, due to some physics that I don’t quite entirely understand, the softer armor can cause the round to point towards your sloped armor instead of ricocheting or anything like you want to.
Meaning that because you put soft track steel instead of armor plate on the front, the shell is now pointing directly towards your armor plate, meaning the designed slope angle of the tank is completely ineffective, while not having lost a lot of energy due to the tracks once again not being actual armor plate.
Yeah and G-14 is missing its bombs Axis planes have less bomb then allies all the time are given some strange payloads I willing to give the Soviets IS-3 if I can get second bomb for the Jabo and bombs for premium and normal G-14 and attacker plane with rockets and bombs …
I’m absolutely against doom turtles but if its gonna give me good payloads cuz thats the thing I hate about Axis planes lack of bombs this G-14 should be having its bomb …
Doest have to, its impact angle is still worse after shell normalization thus decreasing effective armour.
I really dont care, go ahead and nerf IS-2 for that 15mm more armour with massive effective armour loss, but I warned you guys.
Funny how axis tanker are often expected to aim for some wierd turret weakspots but meanwhile the allies/ USSR players are cronicly unable to aim for a turret 10 times the size…
