Only, my feedback will not help at all, since a lot changed since WW2; the ammunition, let alone the invention of fire-control systems.

You can get the penetration data from wiki:

tiger data: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzerk...en_VI_Tiger_II


However, even in a modern tank the upper limit is around 2500m - you just dont expect to hit a 3m target beyond that distance.
I had a relative who served as tankdriver(Tiger, and very successful too btw) in the Wehrmacht, if remember correctly he said hitting a tank at 2000m was considered rather luck than skill.
