Believe me, this has been my number 1 question about this game that ive NEVER figured out. I have done tons of looking into the game's files and stuff looking for a possible clue as to how to make shells bounce less or why they bounce off certain tanks more and all that crap dealing with Penetration and drew a blank.
Its like there is some mechanic under the hood that noone can know about or see and if they discover it they will have the NKVD shoot them in their sleep that deals with weapon Penetration. I have noticed German guns in General penetrate less often against things that their pen numbers say they can and even at close ranges. Ive noticed Russian tanks being exceptionally resilient to fire. Ive been in 2 Rus Vs Ger Tank only battles and just like you said, Russians always win...well it was no different there. In the one battle in which I was Germans, I popped a SU152 in the side with a Panther like 5 times before that very Su 1 shotted my KT....Penetration is one mystery about this game that just has no awnser. My only idea is that this game include armor slope, all russian tanks have armor slope and Slope in this game is GOD. If your tank has it "Russians", then you will likely live. If your armor is flat "Germans", for the most part...you lose. The only tanks ive seen in the German army that are decent are the Panther 'sloped' and KT 'sloped'. The flat faced ones die left, right, up down and in any direction you can think of. I have done tests in various forms to try to get some consistency to Pen values and nothing, aside from slope, I got nothing lol..
