The German commander might also have been unmindfully sticking to the formula for a bracket, which would call for an add of 100 meters at this point, especially if one was unsure of the range, given that the target had moved.
I recall reading a discussion of engagement techniques by WW II German Sturmgeschutz units, which normally used the bracketing technique described here, although much abbreviated, and that it was often superior to fire from panzer units.
