Crew...interesting uniforms. I like the splash mask...must have been excellent to fight inside a hot smoky engine banging monster with that on.

Not quite, as you see on this PzIII (in Russian service) the lower hull armor is slanted and so is most of the turret armor. The vertical armor of the hull and turret front is to maximize the internal work space for the crew, you could call it a balance between form and function.

That is hardly slanted, a T 34 is slated, a Panther is slanted. That is for aero dynamics....

Yeah, I'm guessing the slanted aerodymic design boosted fuel economy on the T-34 from .978 liters per kilometer to .97799998 liters per kilometer. Probably it saved the Russian Fuel depots a total of .56 liter of diesel over the course of the entire war.:)

It shows they cared about the environment.

Most likely designed for plowing through barbed wire and added ability to push nose across a trench.....a very important feature on the western front.

With the A7V the Germans were basically ripping off French designs with a little bit of British styling tossed in.
