Default Re: Magical PT 76 armour

Also the top armour on PT-76 is 1, so cunning machinegunners hiding up on the Balkans mountains might want to try their chances at penetrating that.

Actually, I ran a test game with 12 Soviet PT-76 tanks making an amphibious landing on the Albanian coast, defended by 18 T54 MG teams (size 0). With visibility set down to 10, the brave MG crews were able to freely blast at the tanks, eventually perforating them all (though once the three last tanks got immobilised, their crews bailed out and got gunned down).

Besides numerous penetrating rear hits, I was able to also damage many of the tanks with lucky side shots from close range. However, it took quite a lot of damaging hits to actually destroy one of those tanks, so you got to keep on pouring lots of bullets on them.
