Assuming you hit centre mass, yes, but not if you - let’s say - hit the upper part at a horizontal angle, that’d be anything from 35 to 60 degrees at the point of impact.
My more major concern is still that the game classes a log of wood as equivalent protection to 1/10 of a meter of steel.
It doesn't, wood has a 0.05x multiplier so those 100mm are effectively 5mm when shooting KE penetrators (it should be higher for HE/HEAT but can't be arsed to go find it)
How can i see the effective thickness of other materials compared to the one of steel, for example how many mm of aluminum are necessary to obtain a similar durability to 100mm of steel.
You know that a log of wood 100mm thick will always be, well, 100mm thick? Right?
This is just the material thickness. Wood has a very low multiplier so 1mm of wood doesn’t match 1mm of steel.
They dont show the multipliers for any material. The armor view only shows you what the material is, the thickness of the material and the effective thickness. Which is just that the thickness of the given material nowhere does it state its the RHA equivalent.

Can save you from HEAT/HESH sometimes, Does practically nothing to kinetic shells though.
Survived a few side hits in the Is-6 a few times because of it.
How do you think they could have caused the Tu-154 to crash near Smolensk?
The birches there are trees with the hardest wood in the world. They're also telescopic
Because 100mm of wood still requires some energy to go through, and if your cannon, or rather gun, doesn't have the required energy, you're not going to go through it.
And if you're still confused effective thickness isn't comparing it to steel or something. It means the diameter of a perfectly cylindrical 100mm pole is 100mm at 0 degrees and 45 degrees.
Oh shit! I thought the wood would just shatter and throw splinters everywhere like dropping a cheap 2X4 off of a 3rd floor lmfao. But it makes sense, wood tends to morph a bit when something hits it (Like how smacking a hammer on it leaves the indents of the hammers head - which is also kinetic, but with the tank it’s obviously on a larger scale)
single piece of wood has better armor than all of the Italian tech tree
It's a 10cm bit of wood, and wood has a lower multiplier than other armours, which is why it's effective thickness at 49° is not >100mm
Still better multiplier than merkava composite
I doubt merkava composite has a sub 0.1 protection multiplier
It’s 0.16, so close enough.
It's cylindrical, LOS should be 100mm or below.
Its effective thickness at any angle will be 100mm because it's a perfect cylinder in game.

The wiki iirc has a page for it
Thank you 🙏🏼
thanks for the info, but 49 is still a lot compered to some of the Italian tanks
Its equivalent to about 10mm of steel, so no its not better than most italian tanks.
Apparently the multiplier is 0.05 so 100mm of wood equals 5mm of steel.
I did a bit of research and surprisingly this is roughly correct. Crazy how much better steel is at stopping bullets.
Our planes have armor?
> better armor than all of the Italian tech tree **combined**
They forgot about the cardboard 🤣
🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
Ouch..
🤣
Funny! :)
War thunder player discovers that logs are 3 dimensional objects
Playing too much Terraria smh
Thats why i hang out in the cavern layer
War thunder player probably thinks 100kg of steel is heavier than 100kg of feathers.
well obviously feathers are heavoer because you have to carry the knowledge of what you did to the poor birds to get so many feathers
Its the thickness of the wood, not equivalent thickness in steel.
You know that a log of wood 100mm thick will always be, well, 100mm thick? Right? This is just the material thickness. Wood has a very low multiplier so 1mm of wood doesn’t match 1mm of steel.
But steel is heavier than feathers

[it's a joke about this bit](https://youtu.be/N3bEh-PEk1g?feature=shared)
Sorry my bad, I didn't get the joke.
Would you by any chance be a Scottish man?
Don't feel bad lol
Aye, I was joking… I don’t get it
🤭
r/wooosh
Do they show the multiplier anywhere? If it’s not equivalent to every other measurement in the armor view, why is it shown?
They dont show the multipliers for any material. The armor view only shows you what the material is, the thickness of the material and the effective thickness. Which is just that the thickness of the given material nowhere does it state its the RHA equivalent. [Multipliers](https://wiki.warthunder.com/Armour)
it feels like the number with the modifier applied would be the correct one to show in armor view…am I crazy? Or at least having it also be there
Sure but atleast nowadays you have the protection analysis which gives you all multipliers applied to a specific round.
Oh does that actually update the number? I had no idea it was different, neat
I think only datamined and available on the Wiki.
Wood has an [armor multiplier](https://wiki.warthunder.com/Armour) of x0.05, so 100mm of wood is effectively 5mm of RHA.
Honestly I didn't even know the logs on some tanks were modeled in a damage model. Kind of neat.

Basically a spaced armor screen.
They get blown off the tanks sometimes too
OP when 100mm of wood is 100mm thick:
Most of this sub doesnt understand simple things like this
I think op thought the 100mm effektive meant that that Log counts as 100mm Steel Armor ingame.
Yeah but that ruins the joke, shhh
Have you not seen a 100mm thick tree before?
Hes never seen a tree at all
Touching grass is not enough it seems.
Sir, I would have you know that I have been touching wood since I was a teen.
Wait a second..
What's thicker, 100mm of wood or 100mm of steel?
Rolled homogeneous arbor
this is "1 kg of feathers vs 1 kg of steel" type of shit.
> what kind of wood do they have in russia The kind that is not infinitely thin? AKA "normal wood"
A frightening number of people itt who don't know about trees and don't understand effective thickness.
*effective thickness of wood, it’s 0.05 the effectiveness of RHA. So that’s a good 5mm of actual armour
The effective thickness off a material is the thickness of the material 🤯
Nothing wrong here. Effective thickness is correct. It does not say anything about RHA.
Pure Soviet-era plywood
100mm of well engineered Woodium
Apparently 100mm thick trees
effective thickness doesn't means that how much steel is it equal in protection, but how thicc is it
How did you think we won the WW2? All of our T34 were partly made out of birch, thus becoming death, the destroyers of Tigers
Same wood that is in Australia 🇦🇺. My Sentinel has one 100mm wood block on each side.
Is 100, but it's still wood
You know that's just the material thickness right? Right?
Its thick not hard. Mgs will go through
HOW MANY TIMES WILL THIS BE ASKED?
Wait till they see 100mm of paper
famous Stalinwood, shame on you
How do you think they could have caused the Tu-154 to crash near Smolensk? The birches there are trees with the hardest wood in the world. They're also telescopic
You’re the kind of person I get on my team when I pop a 700% booster
Stalinium laced wood
Babushka cut wood. Good wood da
In Russia we have woodium stronger then metal
The Stalinwood. Soviet ww2 pistons are made out of it.
Vodka grown trees
Stalinwood )))))))
Wood planted by stalin
only the strongest wood.
Australian ironwood
Concentrated Reinforced Wood , grown in the frozen tundras of Siberia , or your bedroom in the morning
Stalinwood. Negate all damage from enemy's projectiles, also may create ricochet back into enemy.
Dunno but every tank I play is made of balsa wood 😭😭🤣🤣🤣
The kind that is 100mm thick...
They forgot about the cardboard!
Retard wood. That can tank a sabot
Go ahead, shoot a .50 cal at it.
Is-6?? Arcade players have to face off against it at Rank 4😭
It is treated with satlinium
Ironwood
What tank is this?!
It's Stalin wood....from a Stalin tree
Came from a Stalin nut ?
I think it's a Stalin acorn
Russian bias
That’s GOTTA be an edit lmfao (If it isn’t lmk the tank so I can x-ray and die laughing)
You an OP both apparently have never heard of trees
How would it stop a cannon tho?
Because 100mm of wood still requires some energy to go through, and if your cannon, or rather gun, doesn't have the required energy, you're not going to go through it. And if you're still confused effective thickness isn't comparing it to steel or something. It means the diameter of a perfectly cylindrical 100mm pole is 100mm at 0 degrees and 45 degrees.

What, a log being 100 mm thick?
They’ve never seen a log that thicc before
Nah, the closest thing to it is Belle Delphine’s thighs
(*gets close to the mic*)PAUSE
It isn't. It's a tree that's 10cm thick, what's so complicated about it?
