The weapons back then had not the penetration power of ammunition today, in SBP you eventually hit and kill the enemy at 4000m, in WWII I think trying to hit at 2000m was a waste of ammo, so ranges for effective fire were smaller, lets say 1500m and below (just my guess, a historian may prove me wrong), I also refer to that Tiger fible's graphics that do not even include anything beyond 2000m.) Like a SABOT in SBP at ranges below 1500 or 1800 (or battlesight) travel so flat an arch that they always hit when centering your sight on the target, I can imagine that in WWII, tanks shooting at least no high travelling ammunition also just centred sights on anything below lets say 800m, or 1000, or 1300.

We need an expert here to clear that question, I'm just speculating.
