Generally, I use the following algorithm to calculate the armor :
Take average armor in mm. Subtract 1. And then adjust for big or small size (height) of the vehicle and/or armor quality and round the fraction up or down.
Examples
Pz V : armor between 120/100 and 40mm. Gives a 6 or 7 armor factor.
Pz IVH : armor between 80 and 30/20 mm. Gives a 4 or 5 armor factor.
Pz VI : armor between 110 and 60 mm. Gives a 7 or 8 armor factor.
Sherman: between 80 and 30mm. Gives a 4, I would say (large target = rounded down).
