When the slat armour fails,would that be because the tip hits one of the bars directly?

Most people think that World War 2 armor piercing tank ammunition are absolutely no match to modern Main Battle Tanks with composite armor.
However, the most common armor piercing ammunition in world war 2, the Armor Piercing Capped Ballistic Capped is actually very capable of penetrating and even destroying modern composite armor.
Composite armor works by breaking APFSDS long rod penetrators by using multiple layers of ceramics and steel plates and is only protected by thin external RHA plates against heavy machinegun and autocannon fire, which could damage the ceramic and steel plates, even DU plates.
Now APCBC is a massive solid slug of metal, commonly hardened steel, that is impossible to be broken by multiple layers of composite armor plates and is even too massive to be deflected by ERA.
The difference here is that an APFSDS is just a long rod of dense and hard material that moves at high velocities and could easily penetrate rolled homogeneous armor plates because RHA is supposed to be very soft and bouncy to absorb the energy of high velocity APCBC shells and bounce them off the armor.
Now obviously, we all know that soft materials can be easily penetrated by thinner penetrators, like how its easier to pierce rubber with a needle than with a large nail.
On the other hand composite armor is intended to be dense and hard to be able to break an APFSDS long rod penetrator or erode a shaped charge jet as they penetrate through it.
Now as we know, hard and brittle materials can be easily broken by massive objects, just as its easier to break glass or a ceramic tile by throwing a massive object at it than trying to poke them using a needle.
This means a massive APCBC shell will easily penetrate a main battle tank's composite armor.
Now for example, alot of people make comparisons on whether or not a Tiger I or a Tiger II can penetrate the M1 Abram's armor.
Most people in these didcussions always consider it impossible for the Tiger to be able to penetrate the M1 Abrams because the M1 Abrams Chobham armor's RHA equivalent is 700mm while the Kwk 43's penetration is only less than 300mm.
However in reality, an 88mm APCBC shell fired from the Tiger II's Kwk 43 tank gun, going at 1,000 m/s is surely gonna go through the M1 Abrams' 50mm external RHA plates aswell as those composite armor plates.
It will however lose so much kinetic energy, since breaking through the ceramic plates would absorb so much kinetic energy that it wont be able to go through the last layer made up of 50mm thick kevlar lining.
However, unlike APFSDS, APCBC has an explosive payload that can do further damage to the composite armor and shatter it to pieces and its shrapnel could even break through the kevlar lining.
And if this happens in the M1A2, it can also break the steel casing of the depleted uranium plates and since depleted uranium is flammable, it will either explode or burn the tank.

Can a 76mm pen it with APCBC?
probably not, but maybe at the side armor since its only protected by RHA.
