4 went through
distance: 50m
Gun: 90mm Gun M3 avg 160 pen
Overlord: Assuming that the angles are both correct (70deg lateral slope,
20deg vertical slope) and all shots hit the side of the turret
armor (80mm), your calculation seems to be ok.
80mm at approx 18.7° or 71.3° slope give about 250mm armor.
Game engine accounts for shell normalization effect as well, for 90mm Gun M3 it's about 10°. It decreases actual slope to 28.7° or 61.3°.
Consequently overall effective armor: 80mm*cos(61.3°)=169mm.
90mm Gun M3 penetration spread: 120-200mm.

previous page, giving lateral angle of 70° (firing from the direct
front as in the video). 20° vertical angle gives an effective
armour slope angle of 18.7°.80mm at 18.7° = 249.5mm effective armour thickness.
A 160 average pen gun should not be penetrating 33% of the time surely?
*my maths isn't what it should be so I checked with an online calculator and for those angles 249.5mm is correct.
