Not sure on all the French to English translations.  What does NON mean?  Don't shoot it there?

Translation for those who need it:

"Performation en mètres" = Penetration in meters (I understand this value as the distance up to which the area can be penetrated)

"Performation en yards" = Penetration in yards (you had guesses this one… 😉)

"Nota: ces chiffres décroissent avec l'inclinaison de paroi" = "these values decrease because of the armor angle"

I don't suppose anyone can make out the numbers?

I tried to visit the site where Probus got the document but was inundated with security warnings.

And then I thought, in any case I let my CM gunners aim where they like.  Which is the centre of the target I think?  I have no control over that.
