In any case, when I have time, I will go over the other days of the combat action in question.
Given the majority of the Soviet Armor was destroyed on the first day (~80%), and the available Tigers are listed as 16, then an upper value of possible AP use could be construed as 80% 0f 1079 or 54 rounds per enemy armor destroyed. But wait, some must have been 'non-fired' as far as being in the destroyed/damaged Tigers? So how does that impact the numbers? It actually increases the number of AP needed to destroy the enemy armor! Unless, of course, the silly argument is made that they fired off all their ammunition first, and then were destroyed or knocked out. IF the destroyed and knocked out rounds were not fired, Then the runners have to fire even more AP. makes 'logical' sense.
Given a 50/50 loadout of AP to HE, then we are talking about reloading the Tigers up it seems. They have to drive to these 'trucks' that sit there full of ammo, right? Actually, the trucks would bring the ammo forward, and it would be unloaded, so as allow the trucks to go back and get more ammo, fuel, etc., instead of sitting on a road waiting to be destroyed (as someone imagines).
