Because after ww2, HEAT and HESH round was already around and common, they're not kenetic penetrator.
Have you heard also about Shaped charge?

Oh wow you think I've never heard of a shaped charge really, the heavy tank went away for a reason they get flanked and fucked also if the rounded turret is so beneficial why have the Russians gone a full 180 and given their most advanced tanks angled turrets.

Also, hevy tanks aren't just supposed to fight in open field.
Crews arent dumbasses, heavy tanks are mostly effective once in place that where they can hide and be annoying as fuck.
Did you just watched fury? Because its made by hollywood and they make magics.

Because round turrets are already useless against HEAT and HESH rounds, we dont even use homogeneous steel armor alot anymore, tanks are mostly protected with ceramics and plastics. And also protected by ERA.

I mean this is around the time period when sabots and HEAT will find widespread use, so I don't think this is going to bounce anything

well to be fair, I don't think there's much you can do to protect it from HEAT and sabots, so might as well make sure the hull crew is comfortable

I guess in the pre-composit era this is definitely a valid point.
