>>61504947Made me go quickly re-educate myself on actual slat armor (the spaced armor). So yeah, I was wrong on the penetration reduction, mostly at least.
The idea of slat armor is not to detonate the warhead before it hits the tank surface, but let the warhead pass through and merely deform the sides of the RPG before it hits the main armor, therefore fucking up the shaped charge formation process. If the warhead hits the slat cage on the tip and it detonates there, the explosion may likely shape the molten "spear" (the shaped charge) properly, which can then pierce through both the cage and the armor.
The blyatmobil garage might still be worth it for the other aforementioned reasons though.
