So we know that the front of the tank has the strongest armor, right? It makes sense to side scrape with the front, but it turns out that’s actually a bad idea. Here’s why - when trying to sidescrape with the front of your tank, the tank’s frontal armour is sloped both on the upper glacis plate and lower glacis plate. The lower glacis place is not angled correctly for sidescraping, coupled with the fact that it has often weak armour, which makes sidescraping front a bad idea since anyone can just penetrate the front armour.
