Table is here. Let me know if you feel like I missed any infantry or see a mistake.

Interesting notes:
-Shock troops have the best armor in the game.
-The German Sniper has about twice as much armor as the Soviet Sniper Team.
-Penal Battalions have the same armor as Conscripts. Guards and Shock Troopers have better.
-Grenadiers and Panzergrenadiers have identical armor.
-Vet 2 MG42, Pioneers and Ostruppen have the same as Vet 0 Shock Trooper armor.

Random question: AFAIK armor reduces your chances of taking a hit, correct? I said that it "reduces damage from small arms" because that's technically true regardless of whether it grants "evasion" or "damage reduction", but I think it's actually the former.

I thought armor made penetration less likely, rather than reduced the chance to hit.

On infantry? I think for vehicles you're right.

I thought that is how it worked for infantry as well.

I think damage for all units is calculated as:

damage per shot * penetration / armor

Accuracy is determined by accuracy value at N/F distance multiplied by target size. Infantry is always 1, light vehicles are 20, super heavies are 26. That way Panzershrecks (0.025 far, 0.05 near) still hit vehicles but always miss infantry.
