0.7 penetration to resistance means there's 70% chance to penetrate (this case being 30%) or is it that if value is less than 1 then shell will never penetrate?

The penetration-to-resistance ratio determines other factors. The penetration chance in this case is 0%, due to the angle of impact and slope of the plate. This is just a hit on the superstructure, so it does not mean the Jagdtiger will never penetrate an IS-2.

One more question, is plate hardness a balance factor or do you have data for it? If yes, could I have a look? That info is hard to come by.

We mainly use it for cast and high hardness armour. As far as balance goes, it means that most Soviet tanks will have less resistance due to high hardness. We got the BHNs from the book WWII Ballistics.

My question here is could an IS-2 even compete with a Jagdtiger head on?

With 122mm APBC, the IS-2 can penetrate 201mm of RHA @ 0° from the vertical.

The Jagdtiger has effective resistances against 122mm APBC of 157mm, 274mm, and 268mm for the lower hull, upper hull, and superstructure, respectively. So, hits against the lower hull would penetrate with a 1.28 ratio, which guarantees over 100% chance.

We are still figuring out the best way to distribute hits, but it does have at least a chance against a Jagdtiger!

Isn't it 120mm at 30 degrees; thus equalling 300mm...?

I'm not sure where you're getting the other 69mms from. Also, doesn't the size of the round nullifiy part if not most of the slope...? (Overmatching).

Just curious to see how your system works, as ours comes to a similar yet slightly different conclusion.

369mm due to the slope and type of round. Also, the armor is actually CHA, but at the time of the screenshot it reported (incorrectly) RHA.

Overmatching is for significant difference between diameter of shell and thickness of plate. 8mm is not significant overmatch.

I would recommend reading WWII Ballistics: Armor and Gunnery.

Are you talking about a system for N44, or a new mod for CoH2?

Conversely, I would be interested to know where you got 300mm, and what kind of system you guys have.
