I made a new poll about top tier tanks for the new tech tree proposals. Information about these tanks will be given below so you can make an informed decision and learn the theoretical implications if these tanks were to ever make it into the game.

Armor: Hull armor is unknown, but the official documents states that sufficient frontal protection against Various Armor piercing rounds was required. Turret armor is given, based on estimates, the thickest part of the turret is around 200mm and a gun mantlet of 400mm. Due to the shape of the turret, effective thickness should be rather good.
