For instance:
Projetile 1. hits the 30mm armor plate at a right angle and thus has 30mm of steel to penetrate.
The game might say: Pen 5 Arm 3 @ 0 degrees.

Projetile 2. hits the 30mm plate at 45 degrees angle and has about 50mm of steel to penetrate.
The game might say: Pen 5 Arm 5 @ 45 degrees.

Projetile 3. hits in a 65 degree ange and bounces off.
The game might say: Pen 5 Arm 11 @ 65 degrees.

Army manuals teach that principle.
And it's also good to know from a defensive point of view.

A hit at 30deg adds 15% to the armour thickness.
A hit at 60deg adds 100% to the armour thickness.
