Hard Luck or Normal?

[Extraordinarius]

I have taken T-34/85s into action against Tiger I's four times now, and I am finding that penetrating hits do not kill Tigers. I have made not less than 14 penetrating hits (one game had three T-34s and two AT guns firing from <400 meters, scoring hits so fast that the data was obscured) with the 85mm gun, and only the very first hit was a kill. Also, not one of three gun hits has kept the hit Tiger from squashing the T-34 that did it. Is this a run of real bad luck, or is this average performance for penetrating hits by the 85L55?

Game story. For definite hard luck, in a game just finished today I bought higher quality crews for the first time. A Tiger, buttoned up, charged over a ridgeline and killed a crack and two veteran tanks, unbuttoned and arc centered on the approaching enemy, at <200 meters. They missed clean with six rounds while the Tiger killed them with four hits. If that was "dphillipsd" using up his good luck, somebody can challenge him now.
