@Lucienne d'Anwyl most of armour was trench-oriented

..... Sloped armor increases the effective thickness, , if it's super thin it's still not stopping shit- the increase in effective thickness is a multiplier.
Also the bigger issue isn't necessarily stopping a non-AP bullet, it's absorbing the kinetic impact. Stopping a penetration only converts the damage from piercing to blunt.

Though that boxy armour was a brainchild of a literal bootleg gangster

if you go out in no mans land youre dead dead dead

It was an effective armour too

Also of note

there were no bootlegging gangsters pre ww1

We don't use metal plate armor pretty much at all any more

the fuck you talking about

even on tanks

tanks are typically bullshit ceramics and stuff

Actually Lucy

Bootlegging gangsters have existed since the dawn of time

you know

that

ceramics

are usually made

with metal

right?

Idk what you’re talking about

bootlegging

as in the term invented

And I say "bullshit ceramics" because they follow completely different rules than steel plate armor, such as some preferring direct-on hits rather than angled hits.

for prohibition era methods of smuggling

Doesn't matter that they've got metal components, what matters is that you have to handle them completely differently from steel plate

Ceramics have tricky physics

you handle a lot of things differently than steel plates
