The penetration works like this (something you don't see, but can read the values in the squadCSV data file) ;

APAttack[0] and APAttack[1] values are the base penetration values. The game
will randomly select a number within those two values to generate a base
penetration value.

Example ... Sherman ;

APAttack[0] = 76
APAttack[1] = 169

APEffective[0]-[4] values are the percentage multiplier at the given range.
The [0]-[4] is the range(tiles), as follows ;

Range 1 = APEffective[0]
Range 2 = APEffective[1]
Range 3 and 4 = APEffective[2]
Range 5 and 6 = APEffective[3]
Range 7+ = APEffective[4]

Example ... Sherman APEffective[0]-[4] ;

APEffective[0] = 83 ... 83% of APAttack at range 1.
APEffective[1] = 83 ... 83% of APAttack at range 2.
APEffective[2] = 67 ... 67% of APAttack at ranges 3 and 4.
APEffective[3] = 53 ... 53% of APAttack at ranges 5 and 6.
APEffective[4] = 42 ... 42% of APAttack at ranges 7 and greater.

Summary Example ... Sherman penetration at ranges below ;

Range 1 and 2 ... (76-169) * 83% = 63-140
Range 3 and 4 ... (76-169) * 67% = 50-113
Range 5 and 6 ... (76-169) * 53% = 40-89
Range 7+ .......... (76-169) * 42% = 31-70

Now, compare that value above with the Armour[0]-[3] vales for the Panther ;

Front ... Armour[0] = 140
Side .... Armour[1] = 60
Rear ... Armour[2] = 60
Top .... Armour[3] = 30

Note that the Sherman cannot penetrate the Panther front armour, however, it
can penetrate the Panthers side armour 100% of the time, at ranges 1 or 2.
At longer ranges, you can see that it can penetrate the side armor, but not 100% of the time.
