It is not a very good choice in armour for that reason; it is brittle as an alloy and is difficult to weld. Read "effective". Steel is better.

Graphene is more conductive of shock than steel and therefore, the joints will have to be of superior strength- only, titanium itself isn't actually that great at the welding parts. They use it in aircraft sure; in thin sheets.

Maybe rth you should look of archive awareness and their look on German welds. That's what's going to happen. Titanium armour in tanks has the issue with titanium being only marginally less brittle than the armour used in German tanks. The thicker it gets the worse it gets. The more strength is needed for impact, the more problems you start to have.

Graphene is used a conductor for electronics...

Chobham isn't the one trying to use titanium. I don't think you understand, titaniums application in aircraft is possible due to much thinner sheets. A thick plate welded onto a tank and well... German tanks...

Rth, while I do imagine you could possibly make for a good admin, perhaps you should try to stay away from this reality stuff. Stuff like WWII, stuff like, real physics (according to rth water will reduce the velocity of a 2700 lb projectile traveling at 500 fps by 95% in the distance of less than 20 meters). Also according to rth no one used APHE projectiles early WW2... *looks at Wehrmacht standard AP projectile of 1938 have explosive filler*

Also according to rth the B7A2 is bad, aside from it's ability to out dogfight a Hellcat, carry 800 kg of bombs/torpedo on an internal bay and so on. Basically crazy stuff.

Then there was that thing about fuses... "Only big naval guns used accurate fuses because it was extremely difficult to-" What kind of uneducated idiot would make that comment?
