(U)_Obliquity angles were determined from detail drawings (References 7 through -10) of the hulls and turrets, Obliquity angles are measured between the line of fire und the ‘normal to the outside surface. | 4. (U)_ Thickness and obliquity angles were checked with previous ballistic analysis ‘reports (References 11 and 12), + 5, (U) Average values of thickness and obliquity angle were determined for the gunshicld area. 6, (U) The cupola was not included in the calculations, -3- CONFIDENTIALTWILNIGISNOD sect tind (oegrees) Ghee) Bay aba Geers) * bays ae ° 2 as ° ‘ Bg a ws & nes a & “8 & ee 38 3s 8 4 i a ee ‘be Re a ban” See 7 i Sy Bo So pert ne t ‘Against 100 nm A.P, 30° Flank Both, Sides (See View "B-B" of Fig. ) ‘Seyy20o merers 0 rap ° on ° x eB 8 = 8 u ve ‘8 we 2 8 so 2 Roe i a ca i ea 4 a a8 «oy saa u Use ©) 3300 5 ie ie z ie (3 ie ® co 8 son & Ln oe u nu « 3en ‘ na 83m fof projected area Strack) valued 120% fF actuot protection (balitetie Tinie velocit 5300 meters has been used. ‘WILN3GI4NODWILNIGINOD average bontiqutey Fropgeston Projected weighted el ohted Thickness (Degrees) So Ree Aiea otect ton ine) creters) Or iay as BA oer, Pa 30 163 6 Bs na 3 25 = Hat = ua 2 va 0 eae ot usr 0 un Ageinge 14.5 mm 4. 0 Eaae 1 16 sides, (Gee View "C0" of Fig, 2) MEO, MéOA age ° ape8 1090 f ° 2a 02s 2 ° 160 corre Ey 130 2, least ° 300 1902 Stow 2 ° 1700 Tisa0 oS ° 380 1033 a ° S08 ‘om ° 600 ey log 80 = T0000 E805 ‘of Fg. 2) W605 meoAL 7 1a ies ° un 4038 ° 10 208 tan a 2 699 rms, 0 aon T0000 See View 00-0" and MEAEW of Fig. 2) HOON?
