A dome is sloped.

A dome feels better.

>>27917658
Domes are cast, slopped armour is generally welded plates

Costs depend on industry

Yeah, I agree with you. Dome just looks better when compared to sloped plates.

I was talking about putting it in my ass.

>>27917675
Right?
>>
>>27917658
I would say round but slope is probably better because it can be repaired easily.

This is exactly what I meant by pyramids. I don't know if it works but from all these shit threads I assume it would be better.

Aren't cast metal things usually brittle?
>>
>>27919956

Comparatively yes. They heat treat cast armor sections, but they aren't as strong for their weight as sheets of armor. Cheaper, though.

>>27917658
dome can deflect a round horizontally as well as upward. also smaller target.

Small and round seems to be the preferred choice with Ruskie tanks.

Well until that weird looking Armata appeared.
