that ok i understand your point of vieuw too, that whywe haveheavy ones shielded the TBU on the front, no tank in that time could punch thru the frontal armor of a KT and a JT that's a fact too so it should be considered into scale tankbattle too, that's honest too ...
otherwise it is just playing around
that's the way it is ... you want scale battle so let's approve it as close as it gets ... you all want scale speed ... so i want scale armor too ... as i say that's the way it should be, who could argume that???
If you are going for true scale battle conditions shouldn't there only 1 or 2 KTs be allowed to be used on the battlefield, since only less than 500 were made and most of the ealier productions were unreliabile, so there would not of been many on the frontline in the beginning. So few people would not be able to compete if you go with true scale, what fun would that be.
Also it was possible for the British 17 pounder using armour-piercing shots capable of penetrating the front of the KT's turret from a least 1000 yds and don't foget the Pershing's 90mm cold penetrate from 1300 meters. So the KT was not completely invincible from the front.
