You can't use abstraction as an explanation for certain behaviour, whilst not using it at other times. If mechanics use a mathematical basis, they should be built on a mathematically logical structure which possibly models a certain amount of abstraction (in the shape of numerical variability). It might be a game, but it doesn't really simulate human actions or some real world physics problems (like penetration, though shot dispersion is taken into account in a way).

It's a system of numbers interacting with other numbers with a numerical result being the result of that interaction. As such, wargames are balanced with that in mind otherwise you can get very weird results. The trick is to create a numerical representation of a certain action. A unit was known for high markmanship? Better damage output or longer effective range. A unit was known for rapid movement? More movement points. That's how it usually goes. In PB (and PzC, as well as possibly Squad Battles) use a quality system that covers those things.

In terms of taking the whole picture into account: in a situation where there's a T-34 unit at 250 meters, in many cases that unit would be visible further away at first, so the defending tank unit would already have the turret turned to the target. Even if that is not the case, there are still 9-10 tanks to fire at.
