![]() Cast homogeneous armour (gunner periscope)ġ1 mm (77°) Upper glacis - Engine access panel.Rolled homogeneous armour (hull, turret).The TAM also is vulnerable to overpressure, so large-calibre HE rounds have a chance of instantly destroying the vehicle. This becomes less of an issue after unlocking the APFSDS round when side shots are rarely as necessary. With this in mind, take caution when flanking a tank with a disabled gun to get a side shot, as you can easily lose a few crew members to machine gunfire. However, most enemies that can be faced will usually have a 12.7 mm machine gun or larger in their possession, making it so even a burst of bullets could riddle the TAM with holes. The front can defend against 12.7 mm machine gun ammo, but the side armour is only proof against standard machine guns of 7.62 mm. The armour is composed of welded steel, providing protection up to 32 mm.
