I think you need read my post again, im not talking specifically about the sherman tank, im talking generally about all tanks on the allied side, which includes the sherman series but also all the heavy tanks.
The IS series which uses a combination of cast and rolled armor has about "80~100" side protection, from actual measurement it can even jump up to 130mm at some spots

>-the thickness of other parts of armor (the hull) is in accordance with known data. For the older hull, the upper front is 120mm cast, the slanted part 60-70mm thick, lower front hull 100mm thick cast, sides 90mm. The newer hull with single piece nose - upper front 100mm thick cast (NOT 120mm), lower front 100mm, the front-side parts of upper hull up to 135mm thick and gradually becoming thinner on their way back, to 90 or 100mm (I forgot to check) where they are welded to the rear 90mm RHA plates. Lower side hull 90mm. So I can confirm that IS-2m upper front hull plate is 100mm thick for cast front-hulls. So probably it's made from 90mm plates in RHA-made front hulls. Other thing I can confirm is that front-side belts of IS-2m upper hull are thicker than 90mm, they are up to 130mm thick. Unfortunately I didn't check them for older-hull IS-2 model from Krakow. Will do that on occasion.
Just try killing one of the IS tank with a rifle grenade, or the ISU self propelled gun tank from the side, you are statistically unlikely to kill and penetrate with one round fired even at close range simply because the armor is that thick.
