looking at stats and so on, i notice it say penetration and R-Penetration..

nothing about side???

[Unkn0wn]

There's no side armour, only front and rear. If you hit the side towards the rear it'll count as a rear hit though.

Side armor is not modelled in this game as Unkn0wn said. The tank is divided into more or less roughly equal 50% front 50% back. A hit to the rear 50% of a tank counts as a rear armor hit the majority of the time (sometimes more or less of a tank counts as the "rear 50%" than 50%).

If someone was to edit the model and make more armour types would that be possible? Or is it not possible to make more armour type entries or something?

[Tymathee]

yea side armor is 50% front and  50% rear so you have a 50/50 chance of getting either a front or rear hit.

[AmPM]

It actually works fine as is, giving you an increase in damage thats not as high as straight rear hits.

What about top armour?
I know its different for sure. that may be part  of the piat problem as well.

[Akranadas]

Top and Bottom are also divided up into the 50/50 split.

Think of it like this:



Blue for front armour, Red for Rear.

Things with arcs (such as PIATs) often arc over and hit a vehicles rear armor. Bombing runs have a 200% damage modifier, to represent hitting the vehicles top armor (though the 2x modifier is in effect even if it doesn't hit the tank).
