[TANKS] Hetzer Revelation!
Just noticed this. The cast armor gun mounting of the Hetzer sits in a cutout in the 60mm thick front plate. The flanged section that holds this assembly in place (marked in red in the photo) appears to be well in excess of 10mm in thickness. The net effect of this is that the Hetzer's max armor protection is in excess of 70mm (as defined by Tri-Pact measurement practices). Imagine that! ;-) ST https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3-NJ__1S-bI/UrSO9eewT1I/AZY/XoHJYsPFHYQ/s1600/Hetzer1.jpg -- -- You are currently subscribed to the R/C Tank Combat group.

Re: [TANKS] Hetzer Revelation!
The casemate, I'd think counting that would be like counting the gun manlet on a tank...

Re: [TANKS] Hetzer Revelation!
For the last 10 years, Steve didn't have any problems sending the Hetzer back to home base with only 3 hits. But now that your proposal gives the Hetzer a 40/4 rating he feels obligated to point out something he just noticed ;-) Fortunately, as official members of the Rules Committee, neither Steve or Joe can sue the RCTC for back points.
