It is hardly unusual that newly mobilized American ...

40/cos(75)^1.6 = 347mm At that acuteness, the odds are ...

I have also noticed the rather absurd armor thicknesses given the 7-TP. Consistant calculated effective armor thickness in the 300-400mm range for a vehicle with a maximum frontal armor of 40mm is not creditable. Maybe the 7-TP pioneered the use of Chobham with DU mesh.

<t>A word of warning: the US Army mech cav and armored infantry are way off the mark:<br/>

<br/>
2. there was an AT platoon at company level, 3 57mm AT guns w/ M3 tracks as prime movers ...
