[WoT] Digging Through Archives: We've Hit Them Hard

The first firing tests with King Tiger playing key role took place on September 2, 1944, it happened right where the vehicles were stopped in battle.

This King Tiger was hit near Polish town of Sandomierz. After that it was used as a testing target for artillery to try the armour.

    Overlord, is it true that normalisation for sloped armor will be decreased again in 8.0?

    152mm on KT: Makes a hole.

    152mm on soviet steel: Nothing to see---> Because the tank got vaporized completely.
