Ballistics Report:
Note: 0.50 cal Bullets only penetrate 50 mm RHAe at point blank.
Bottom front hull nearly impenetrable to all known KE weapons due to bulldozer blade, transmission, front mounted engine, and angle of plate.
Although the upper Glacis plate only presents a deflection of 36.8 degrees, at a 45 degree quartering shot, this plate has a deflection of 55.5 degrees, increasing the effectiveness of this plate by x2.25, and a fatal shot may be completely avoided by turning the tank 45 degrees to the left in the event of a head on assault.
The upper side plate is well angled at 45 degrees giving a thickness modifier of x2 while a quartering shot presents a 60-degree deflection with a thickness modifier of x5. The lower portion is doubled up and carries a space approximately 6” wide, this adds storage, floatation, or additional armor. And is estimated to be capable of 22” (550 mm) RHAe against KE, more against CE weapons.
The Achilles heel appears to be the rear plate, with 26 and 47 degree shot deflections, and limited to 3” kevlar composite with silicone carbide ballistic inserts. Angle modifier is only x1.1.

HT-101-106 Tank Destroyer
Using the turret of left over Ontos tank destroyers, the HT-101-106 mounts 6 105mm (106mm was the name given so as not to confuse quartermasters) recoiless rifles, and a laser rangefinder, and electronic targeting computer. This gives the HT-101-106 the ability to fire 6 105mm shells at once at a target, ensuring its complete destruction. The gun must be loaded from the rear, and thanks to the fact that the HT-101-106 is longer than the Ontos, a crew equipped with simple masks to avoid inhaling too much diesel fumes can reload it while standing on the tank. The sides have been equipped with rails for this situation.
