Yeah, physics can be a PITA.

I had a Tiger shot bounce off a T-70 turret in CMBB, a PIAT taking out a Jagdtiger with a lucky side shot in CMBO, a 50cal blowing up a Hetzer with a salvo in the rear in CMAK.
Also lost my very first King Tiger to a 80mm Mortar top hit. Ah, good times.
:D
 
Eh, Man of War does a pretty good job at modelling that stuff and presenting it in a decently understandable way.

In the end you can simplify the CM model down to:
(1) Effective armor range (lowest to highest thickness modified by angle) for front/side/rear/top
(2) AP power at specific distance intervals (0m/500m/1000m/2000m)

Then get a proper damage calculation going where you model damage taken based on penetration ratio (riochet/partial penetration/penetration/critical hit).
