Thanks to Orkel for this!
感谢Orkel做的这些！

VK3601H 88mm gun mantlet got thicker in 8.8. This is how it looks:
VK3601H 88mm炮 的炮盾比8.8更厚了。这是它的样子：

In 8.7, it was 40-80-100, in 8.8 it is 50-100-135. Be advised that the Konisch uses a different mantlet, that is 100mm all across the space.
在8.7中，他是40-80-100,8.8中变成了50-100-135.提醒下与SB炮的炮盾不相同，SB的整个覆盖范围都是100

Tiger mantlet got much more complex. This is the old one:
虎式炮盾变得更复杂了。这是它原来的样子：

And this is the new one:
然后这是现在的：

In words of Orkel: The edges are being thinned, but the middle areas are becoming much thicker. We can expect less “random absorbtions” by the edge areas overlapping with the turret, and more consistency in what can penetrate to do damage, and what cannot. Also note the cupola becoming smaller and more sloped, with its weakspot “view ports” removed.
Orkel的话说：边缘部分变得更薄了，但是中间区域变得更厚了。我们可以指望更少的歪炮打到边缘炮塔炮盾衔接处，也能更明确何处可以击穿，何处不能了。而且车长塔变得更小更倾斜，”观察口”的弱点也被移除了。
