I'm wondering why nobody asked the real question regarding Schürzen in all these years:
Do Schürzen protect against anti tank rifles in-game?

Everybody (almost) agrees Schürzen were originally designed to defeat russian anti tank rifles, the protection against HEAT was an unexpected benefit.
A quick search showed no increase in steel armor for tanks equipped with Schürzen in-game.
Is there a reason for this?
I don't think so, Schürzen in fact WAS designed to defeat ATRs, but in game the only defense against AP,HE,and SABOT rounds is steel armor, as there's no "side skirts" armor in the game.
