pen at 0 - 30° ??????

when I looked 'How it works' video from WoWs yt channel they said when angle of impact of shell is 0 - 30° it always ricochet. How can I then overmatch some ship nose form forward?

Because - as stated in the video itself - the first check is the overmatch-check. After this follows the ricochet-check.

Seconds before your timestamp the narrator even declares it, again! Quote from 2:22min: "...the 14.3 caliber rule doesn't work with 203mm. Next, the second check applies: the ricochet calculation."

As @principat121 already mentioned, the video itself right were you linked it even says:

If the 14.3 caliber rule (aka overmatch) is true, there will be no ricochet check.
