ye
Is that an SCP?
I assumed as much
Unless it’s like that
It hurts
itll all hurt
thtat being said
that kinda armour would only work in the trenches
German spotted in Iraq
not crossing the field
@Ethaneth SCP-166 is best SCP
@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.
well no shit lol
Though that boxy armour was a brainchild of a literal bootleg gangster
if you go out in no mans land youre dead dead dead
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
