	Sloped armour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sloped armour is armor that is mounted at a non-vertical and non-horizontal angle, typically on tanks and other armoured fighting vehicles.
		For a given normal to the surface of the armour, increasing armour slope improves the armour's level of protection, while for a given area density of the armour the protection can be either increased or reduced by sloping, depending on the armour materials used.
		Sloping armour can cause additional protection-enhancing effects such as shattering of a brittle kinetic energy penetrator, but in thick homogeneous plates a long-rod penetrator will, after initial penetration into the armour's LOS thickness, bend toward the armour's normal thickness and take a path with a length between the armour's LOS and normal thicknesses.

		It hit the stone with a small sound, and by the time he had shaken off his sleepiness and reacted, the horn was already on it's way, sliding across the smooth, sloped surface.

		Panting, he picked himself up in time to see the figure of one of his foes emerging at the hole; with a sudden rush of adrenaline, he drew out a bottle from his satchel and hurled it skilfully through to land beneath the creature.

	STAR WARS: Warships of the Empire: Catalogue
		This vessel is not strictly a warship, though its shape and the armoured character of its hull suggest that it was designed to be durable in a warzone or other conditions where attack is likely.
		Behind this module there is a sloped ridge running down to the stern, resembling a shallower version of the back of the larger command towers.
		On some areas of the hull, armoured coverings are proportionately much thicker than a destroyer's; the thickest armour is laid around the brim, the keel line and a web of other (presumably vital) areas that crisscross the dorsal and ventral hulls.
