C =cemented armour, which is another way of stating face hardened armour. Once again you launch into an improbable explanation for results that challenge the data you are presenting.
Or UK cemented armour was more resistant than that used in the data you are presenting. FH armour will be more variable in its quality than RHA because it is more complex to produce.
Now all I can say on British cemented is that at least that used by RN was exceptionally good, clearly more resistant to hits than that used by USN during the WWII according to US tests post-war.

And you called my explanation improbable?? Stop accusing me of something you are yourself guilty of. Sorry but FH armour is FH armour, and the Brits were no better at making it than the US or Germany, Germany infact had the most experience with it. Fact is that APCBC projectiles perform better against any type of FH armour than they do against pure RHA, there's no getting around that Dunmunro.
FH armour varies widely in its quality and resistance to projectiles. For thick naval plates, the RN had FH armour that was far superior to USN armour and somewhat better than KM armour as well. In general, the UK had more experience with armour and AP projectile design than any other country, including Germany.
let's see:
2 pdr versus 37mm
6 pdr versus 50mm
6 Pdr APDS versus 75mm
17 pdr versus 88mm
17 pdr APDS...
The UK always had a lead over Germany in AP gun and projectile design, and the other major powers involved in WW2, your own data shows this, although you've been careful not to present any data on the APDS round. We've been arguing over the merits of a 57mm UK gun versus a 75mm German gun, but once we introduce APDS the contest is over. The UK began intensive study of armour and AP weapon performance after Jutland, and they never let go of that lead until well after WW2. Even Canada was well ahead of Germany in terms of APDS design.

Hello Vinzenco
88mm PaK was never a stardard A/T gun for WM divs, check the TOEs, 17pdr otherwise was for British divs in ETO, also check the relevant TOEs.
On service entry. The first combat development is a different thing, it was much faster to put a gun to raiway wagon in Germany and sent the train to Russia than to put a gun on a ship, sent the ship around the Cape of Good Hope to Egypt and from there to the front.
