DELTA3-2: Of course it would matter at what range you hit, where etc, but in the case oif the T34, assuming you're not talking about FT on the T34/85, richochet should be fairly nonexistent. What you ought to do is use HTs as targets at that range and see how many richos you get, that would definitively prove your point as they don't have enough armor to stop a peashooter. If you are correct, there would be way too much emphasis on slope and/or richochet, so that the HT could take numerous rounds and also richochet easily. I know sometimes we have a problem accounting for slope on vehicles at distance, because we're so used to shooting at vehicles who have little slope. Certainly, the slope should make less difference upclose than at distance.
I wish I could draw up a mm equivalent to slope. For example, recently the KTiger was given it's proper 18 degree side hull rating which bfore was zero. What goes through my mind, is that if a gun has an 81 penetration rating at 10 hexes firing at zero slope, then it has a good chance to penetrate. Now, with the 18 degree slope, in the same situation what would the slope up the flat armor rating to? Would the flat penetration need to be 90, 100, 110? Just how much protection, generally, would an 18 degree slope give (and of course how much would other slopes give)? Could you fairly cut and dry account for 10mm protection for every 10 degrees slope?
