Re: Normandy 1944
From your experiment report I see that only 5 tigers are accounted for while you have 14 others. What about those 14? Is there any chances that they escape unharmed because they quickly run away from the battlefield (due to suppression)? Maybe in the next experiment give them zero speed value?
Also don't forget that in the Normandy campaign, how many Tigers were actually decimated & blown up due to these high-caliber artillery? Compared to those that didn't blow up? We need to have quite a number of actual occurences of Tigers being pounced by high caliber artillery in the war, so we can rightly deduce the statistics. If it's just one or two samples, it's not enough for making conclusions of the high mortality rate. Maybe the samples can be obtained from the Russian front, which experienced a mighty titanic amount of artillery fires (and huge deployments of Tigers too).
Don't forget that war is chaotic. It could be there was another main factor that can wreck & destroy Tigers that way; the wrong Tiger at the wrong road at the wrong time maybe.
Just saying, food for thought.
Cheers!
