Tank History Interwar periodĪrmour plays a very important role on tanks as they were conceived by it. Important design features that dictate whether an aircraft design is more durable than others was in the airframe build quality, the airframe's ability to take damage, and adequate protections around vital components such as the engine, pilot, and fuel tanks. Other important areas that armour could be present on aircraft is around the engine. Though some armour plating are present in the back on some planes like the P-47, these were only thick enough for small calibers and serve more to slow down the incoming round so that it has little energy once it punches through. Īrmour for pilots are thus usually never beyond the usage of bullet-resistant glass on the cockpit that could provide protection against rifle calibre ammunition. Armour are often not taken into consideration in the design as armour constitutes more material and thus a heavier aircraft which would inhibit its performance due to weight penalty.
Armour can be found in both air and ground vehicles in War Thunder and plays a very important role to the vehicle's survivability.Īrmour modifier applies to both types of penetrators, unless specified.Įxternal composite armour with NERA elementsĪrmour on aircraft are often minimum and focused on vital sections rather than on the overall airframe.
