Armor of the Gun Mantlet：
炮盾装甲的问题：
It can be seen that the size of the embrasure behind the gun mantlet has decreased more than twofold！ Therefore， the area where the gun mantlet overlaps the turret armor has been increased significantly， with the resulting armor thickness of 300mm or more in these sections。
可以清楚地看到炮盾后面的炮孔的大小被减少了两倍不止，所以有炮盾覆盖的炮塔部分厚度被显著增加了，综合起来厚度甚至超过了三百。

9.14后
Turret Damage Model：
炮塔的伤害模型：
Turret armor protection is displayed in the image， with areas of effective armor less than 220 mm highlighted—these areas can be viewed as vulnerable spots compared to the rest of the turret’s armor。
图片中展示了炮塔的防护性能，并对等效低于220的地方做了高亮处理，从炮塔其他位置的厚度来看，这些地方可以视作弱点。
The armor protection pattern is displayed this way due to the complex structure of the surface。 This variant will be easier to perceive， since we are only interested in weak spots。
用这种方式来展示防护性能是因为它表面的结构过于复杂，用这种展示方法可以很简单的去了解，反正我们只关心弱点。
It can be seen that the pre 9.14 model had one large weak spot on the left-side of the gun。 The new model has two such areas—at the left and at the right of the gun， but each of them is slightly smaller than the weak spot in the previous model。 Moreover， the new model does not have the weak spot on the gunner’s sight。
我们能清楚看到，在9.14之前，炮的左边存在一个巨大的弱点，在新的模型里也有，存在于炮的两旁，但是比起原来要小些，更妙的是，在炮手的位置前就没弱点了。

Side Armor Changes：
有关侧面装甲的改动
Lastly， we examine the changes made to the side of the tank int he new patch， and give the Pros， and Cons of said changes
最后我们来看一下侧面装甲在更新后比起原来有哪些优缺点：
Side Armor Pre 9.14 Patch：
9.14前
Side Armor Post 9.14 Patch：
9.14后
Pros and cons regarding Side Armor：
+ Main side armor plate has has been increased to 142 mm instead of 138 mm。
+侧面的主装甲带厚度从138增加到了142；
+ A stripe of reinforced armor has been added （screen of 56 mm + side armor of 136 mm）。
+增加了一条附加装甲带，厚度是56，下面还有厚度136的侧装甲；
+ The prominent part of the fender， which could be penetrated following the rules of overmatching， was removed。
+挡泥板的突出部分曾经可以被碾压，但是现在移除了；
– Effective armor thickness of the side frontal plate has decreased a bit， which is balanced by the fact that the effective armor thickness of this frontal armor has increased slightly。”
-从侧面看来，侧前方的装甲带（肩膀）等效装甲降低了一点，当然，从正前方来看，这一块的等效增加了。
