The German equation for 30 degree penetration which is identified in the British BIOS report predicts the following figures for subject guns, using best quality ammo that succeeds on five consecutive hits at close to the same velocity:
75L43 APCBC
100m, 97mm
500m, 89mm
1000m, 79mm
1500m, 70mm
2000m, 62mm
88L56
100m, 119mm
500m, 110mm
1000m, 100mm
1500m, 91mm
2000m, 83mm
The similarity between the above estimates and the figures in Jentz' Panzertruppen and Chamberlain's Encyclopedia of German Tanks of WW II is notable.
