It seems the general direction of armor ratings has been to reduce heavy armor such as Tiger FT and increase the lesser armors of things like the Tiger SH. Of course such is bad news for Gerry players using heavier armored vehicles, while good news for those with Shermans/Comets. Actually I would've expected the KTiger to have been given the 88mm SH treatment as well.

Thanks for clearing up that FT thingy. About the other thing, your wish is granted in v7, but do you know what is the basis for it?

Penetrator: Seems like I heard once what it was, and since I didn't necessarily buy it I just looked at the overall affect instead, which I mentioned on the prior post, and actually, I lean towards it not pleasing me, but I don't know the entireity of the changes, nor am I likely to know.

It could be an adjustment for the shot trap effect the Tiger mantel. The mantel did create a large shot trap between itself and the hull.
