Does addon armor help against heat?

[Wiesell]

Heat and heatfs? I just bought the is2 mod 1944 and saw addon armor. Maybe they are there to stop heat? Or panzerfaust.

HEAT yes, but not HEAT-FS.

That's why the IS-2 1944 has it, the Soviets experimented with metal mesh to stop panzerfaust attacks. You can see this similar on the T-34/85E premium.

Though it depends what kind of armour you have, added on tracks will do nothing more than their thickness (multiplied by 0.45) in extra protection.

Certain add on armor such as the is2 1944 adds protection from heat shells mainly from the Panzerfaust and early pz's.
Track add on armor is for the addition of tracks on the turret or hull to give the vehicle extra protection against AP shells against heat however it may make more post pen damage.

HEAT-FS will go through the extra armor plates like welded on tracks.
