Slat armor (or slat armour in British English), also known as bar armor, cage armor, and standoff armor, is a type of vehicle armor designed to protect against high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) attacks, as used by anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) and rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs).

Oct 13, 2024 · Just wanted to get people’s perspectives on the M46’s addon armoured cage. Does anyone find it to be useful? I personally think it gives the tank a huge silhouette and makes it easier to spot so I don’t use it.

The M46, introduced with the American ground tree in Update 1.45 "Steel Generals", is an improved version of the M26 Pershing. The two biggest shortcomings of the M26, the mobility and firepower, have been improved on to allow a better player experience with the tank.
