Tehokas panssari

A shell that is actually defeated by the thickness of armor once the angle of the plate is accounted for, which is what penetration is compared against.

Tunnetaan myös nimellä tehokkuus, panssarin tehokkuus.

A shell crossing a sloped plate travels a longer path through the steel than the plate is thick. Tehokas paksuus on tämä polku.

effective = thickness / cos(angle from the shell's line of travel)
At 60 degrees a plate is worth double its nominal thickness, at 70 degrees roughly triple. ``` This is why armor is described by shape rather than by numbers. The same plate is worth twice as much when the vehicle is angled toward the shooter and its nominal value when it is caught square, and every armor mechanism in the game, normalization, overmatch, ricochet, is a modifier on this comparison.
