Armor angling
Angling (sidescraping and hull-down)
Tilting your armor to multiply its effective thickness against enemy shells.
What it means
Raw armor numbers are deceiving. A flat 100mm plate offers exactly 100mm of protection — but the same plate tilted 60° from incoming fire offers 200mm effective. This is angling, the single most powerful defensive technique in World of Tanks.
Main techniques
Sidescraping — only the side of your tank exposed at sharp angle behind cover. Hull-down — only the turret exposed over a ridge. Reverse-sidescraping — backing into cover with armor angled.
Example
Why it matters
Knowing your tank's armor angles transforms how you play. A medium tank can hold an entire flank against three heavies if it's properly angled in cover.
