It would look like the silly pic I did. That is the side view.
At the angle of the photos pacmo has, you wouldn't even see it. Give it a coat of undercoating and you would think it was stock.
That is what prompted me to make my own if I have to.
Kinda silly to have a huge piece of metal or plastic hanging down there like the OEM one appears.
In deflecting projectiles, you never use something perpendicular to the angle of incidence. The greater the angle of incidence, the less penetration=the less armor thickness you need.
What is sad is that there already is a remnant of a shield there. Had they just gone on across the length of the tank, we wouldn't be having this conversation. All they needed was about 12 inches more to cover the entire front of it. It confounded me looking at it.
What I propose would be 18 inches wide and I'm not sure yet how long; to protect the entire underside of the tank might be a little longer than the sheets I have, I'll have to look tomorrow--it's gettin cold in Atlanta huh?
I'll mock one up and do some pics when I get the time.
