Not necessarily - there are more ways of uprating survivability than
bolting more plate to the side of a tank. Radical sloping of the armour
would increase effective armour thickness, but _would_ actually reduce
the internal space available (ie capacity) rather than increasing weight
(and reducing speed). Both methods are valid.
