Angling is turning your tank so that an opposing tank does not see any face of your armor at a 90° angle, increasing the effective thickness of your armor. A 100mm-thick plate of armor is effectively 115mm if the armor is turned 30° from the incoming shot, and increases the chance that the armor will bounce the shot. If your tank is turning while the shell impacts, there is even greater chance that it will bounce and not penetrate.

Angling must be done carefully: under angling will increase the chances that shells will penetrate the front of your tank. Overangling will allow your opponent to shoot at the sides of your tank without hitting your tracks. Proper angling will increase your frontal armor's effective thickness and cause shells shot at the side of your tank to be "eaten" by your tank's tracks.

Players should download the Armor Inspector app, which will allow them to see the result of angling their tanks to an incoming shot.

In the second image, angling the E100 will make it less likely that the shell will penetrate. In the third, the tank is over-angled and a shell could pen the tanks side armor.
