the m13/40 armos (and the semovente as well) seen to ahve some armor material issues
both dont take any damage from AT-Rifles (and they shoudl be destroable by these) and the grant 75mm gun is somewhat "useless" against it.
2pdr does just fine most times 2 shots kill it but oftn they get defelcted.

a tip until the next patch comes:
if in a grant and you see a fiat on long range
use your small turret with the 37mm gun it kill the m13/40 with 2-3 hits and is more efficient than the big 75mm maingun.

afaik we tested this in betatesting and all worked well but something went wrong in packing the new patch and some stuff fell through the cracks

hmm, the main gun or the 37mm?


(btw, it seemed front shot might kill with 1 shot)

let me investigate the armour...


ah, finally in the testing ground, boring driving for long...


TEST 1: it seemed a part of side armour is working well though(look at my aim)


TEST 2: front armour, it takes 3 shots, yes, 3 shots.


TEST 3, front tracks. ( i only show my aim, takes 2 shots)


TEST 4, side armour( takes 5 shots, look at my ammo count)(i also tested the lower parts, it seemed only the area in test 1 is 1 shot kill)



i haven't tested the rear armour yet...



i run this test by conquest mode .... in my own computer...

except it cannot kill grant in front (need 7 shot at very special place...near the tracks)

also the side is almost impossible to kill (didn't test, but many shots go in with hit indicator without explosion.)

only the backs takes 2 hit...


well, it seemed to be fair though ...


edit: refer to the lower post how many shots it need...

You can kill the grant from the sides, you just have to aim for the little side port/trap door.
