The Senshado's shells are reduced pretty much stopping power. As same as paintballs for paintball game, they're don't strong enough to go though the armor, but if you shoot non-protected vitol points with paintballs/ tank crew in Senshado with special shells deliberately, you will still kill people.

Leaving the "if the shell could kill humans aside" Yes some of bigger shell sizes can easily penetrate WWII era armor which ranged from 60-120 mm. Modern tanks with higher quality steel, ceramics and composites have the "equivalent" of 600mm of armor. The rules indicate that the tanks materials must conform to the WWII standards.
But about the carbon lining, can you tell me exactly what kind of carbon are they using, how thick and how much protection against penetration they add in this ficticious setting? You talk as if it's a given and you've witnessed that a 128mm shell will blow the WWII armor, blow the carbon protection into smitherins, go out the other side, take out the tank behind it and fly off into the horizon in the GuP world. So far we haven't seen penetration, just fire and carbon composites and fuel can burn easily. So if they tell you instead of carbon lining, the interior of the tanks is made of vibranium and adamantium, are you gonna say the 128mm from JagdTiger is gonna blow the adamantium into tiny pieces too?
In the end GuP is a work of fiction. If they tell you the shells are specially made and the tanks interior and it's occupands are protected with carbon, vibranium, adamantium, magic or the power of whatever god there is, that's where real life logic and science stops applying, and hope this discussion ends here because enough catgirls have died so far.
