How to estimate if a tank is resistant to sth?

[m4a1]

I have got an APFSDS with its NATO-certified penetration capability from some range. And I have tank's armor thickness. How much do I have to add to say that a tank is resistant to the projectile? 10 %? 20 %?

T(h)ank you all

From 50% to 20% seems to be about 6-7.5%. But that is exactly @ 0°. Over 30° arc might need to be less.

from ww2 steel converting from 80% of hits to 50% was the same at 0 degree's.

 

by this i mean add about 6% to the effectice penetration.
