Surely there's someone with some practical experience
of experimentation with riccochets? What else is
sloped armour about on AFVs?

Norman,
               The slope effectively increases the thickness and the chance
of a richochet is a bonus. IIRC one of the factors in AP projectile design
is to minimise the chance of richochet. Hence the use of HE "squash head"
and the probe in front of shaped charges.
