Modern Tank Armour Protection Levels and Gun Penetration Figures

[Rob]

Strictly for post WW2 vehicles. Useful site if you are thinking of having a bash at your own rules.

Armour levels are given as "line of sight" (LOS) figures. If you are unsure what that means, it is the amount of armour a projectile will need to pass through to achieve a penetration. For instance a glacis plate angled at 60 degrees roughly doubles the amount of armour a gun will have to punch through.
