Wonderful graphical tool, particularly for determining optimum tank angles for the greatest chance of deflection. Unfortunately, no Soviet tanks, but you can see how German armor performs and where the sweet spots are.

That is assuming that the calculator and Red Orchestra are coded similarly.

One thing to note is that the calculator allows you to choose between "turret" and "Hull" armor, and obviously, the turret armor isn't going to be reflected by Red Orchestra Ost Front's code because Ost's turret armor modeling is different from real life.

If nothing else, it's worth looking at for the historical significance.

The above is a graphical representation of 3" APCBC versus a Tiger I's hull armor from the calculator.

Enjoy.
