I don't know how thick the armour is on the two cupolas, but I assume the difference is comparable.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622237223229485503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030145265861917845.post-14190307056159054442014-03-01T18:18:47.966-05:002014-03-01T18:18:47.966-05:00"The difference between the IS and T-34 cupol..."The difference between the IS and T-34 cupolas is the armour and glass thickness. In the former case, it is 90 mm, in the latter, 12 mm. "<br /><br />This is not clear. Is the armor on the IS cupola 90mm and the armor on the T-34 12mm. Or is the armor on the IS cupola 90mm and the glass 12mm?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
