This cage armor has seen better days...
Don't think it ever does. It's sole purpose is to absorb all the "negativity"
yeah I got a question what are the origins of cage armor I think I saw some (or pretty much like) cage armor in PZIV in WW2
not really a Cage armor. what you're talking about is the "Zimmerit" on Pz IV Ausf H (?).
Hsfeatures.com ja?
Simcardo, those are wire mesh skirts, and they are the grandfather of cage armor like dealta.boy said, since they had the same purpose. Zimmerit was a coating that prevent magnetic mines to attach to the tank, and that panzer iv in the pictures does not have zimmerit
Panzerschürzen are kinda like cage armor. They were used by wehrmachts panzer to reduce the impact and kenetic energy a shell has to make it less capable of defeating armor. cage armor has a similar prinziple. so that might be the WW2 grandfather
