[QUOTE=Toontje]Guess the - no damage meant it bounced of an axle or something, especially with armour taking rifle and mg hits with those results.

More likely, Suspension is a location in the same way turret is a location. Maybe that is the part protected by the armour of the armoured skirts? (I still don't know exacly the effect of skirts.)[/QUOTE]

Skirts are meant to defeat heat type weapons, triggering the shape charge to go off far enough away to prevent the "jet" from effectively blowing a hole in the armor. Unless you're talking about the Matilda with it's inherent shirts. I'll bet they were a real pain in the a$$ to change the tracks on one of those. I think they provided a little more resistance to AP rounds too, but how effective they actually were against that, I'm not sure.

Voriax will correct me if I'm wrong. :D
