Hi Imp
Yes I tested this and you are correct, For the Tiger 1 firing HEAT about 1 in 16 HEAT shells will overpenetrate by 2 or more, For AP its about 1 in 50.

Though this is true it doesnt constitute an argument that the tiger should be firing HEAT at the firefly side armour at short range where both shell types pen is better than the armour. Just the opposite in fact, as the HEAT can vary down possibly below the armour value wheras the AP wont.
Best regards chuck
