How do you improve PzB???

Hi again! Here are some more statistics after implementing the Disruption rules in the simulation I put together (opportunity fire still not included). Again 10 000 battles are performed, now looking at 2 Tigers vs a varying number of non-guard T-34. The Tigers are shooting first at Range 1. A battle is won if all of the opposing tanks are eliminated.

2 Tigers vs 1 T-34: Tigers win 99% of the battles, average number of rounds 1.8
2 Tigers vs 2 T-34: Tigers win 96% of the battles, average number of rounds 3.2
2 Tigers vs 3 T-34: Tigers win 87% of the battles, average number of rounds 4.7
2 Tigers vs 4 T-34: Tigers win 73% of the battles, average number of rounds 5.8
2 Tigers vs 5 T-34: Tigers win 56% of the battles, average number of rounds 6.3
2 Tigers vs 6 T-34: Tigers win 40% of the battles, average number of rounds 6.4
2 Tigers vs 7 T-34: Tigers win 25% of the battles, average number of rounds 6.0
2 Tigers vs 8 T-34: Tigers win 15% of the battles, average number of rounds 5.4

If I instead use the Hard Attack values for Tiger and T-34 from Panzer Campaigns (39 and 14, respectively, instead of 17 and 32), I get the following results:

2 Tigers vs 1 T-34: Tigers win 99.8% of the battles, average number of rounds 1.7
2 Tigers vs 2 T-34: Tigers win 98% of the battles, average number of rounds 3.0
2 Tigers vs 3 T-34: Tigers win 94% of the battles, average number of rounds 4.3
2 Tigers vs 4 T-34: Tigers win 86% of the battles, average number of rounds 5.7
2 Tigers vs 5 T-34: Tigers win 75% of the battles, average number of rounds 6.6
2 Tigers vs 6 T-34: Tigers win 61% of the battles, average number of rounds 7.3
2 Tigers vs 7 T-34: Tigers win 48% of the battles, average number of rounds 7.5
2 Tigers vs 8 T-34: Tigers win 36% of the battles, average number of rounds 7.5

Note that the shortest battle in all of the above scenarios was over in just 1 round, i.e., things can happen fast, but on average the battles are more lengthy.

In other words, to me, it looks like the current system works quite well, also for a smaller number of high quality tanks. However, some of you may prefer returning to the PzC Hard Attack values to make the Tigers more effective?
