Q: Can I use Defensive Fire to attack a soldier riding on a T-34/76 with the Exposed Transport SA?
A: Defensive fire is only used against moving units. When a Vehicle triggers Defensive Fire, it's the vehicle that's moving, not the passengers. So the answer is no, you can't use Defensive Fire to attack the passengers instead of the Vehicle.

Superior Armor 2

An attack must beat this unit’s defense by 2 or more in order to score two hits against it.

Q: A Tiger tank's frontal defense is 7 and it has Superior Armor 2. Does this special ability simply add to a unit's defense? Would the Tiger's defense now be 9?
A: No. Superior Armor 2 doesn't change the vehicle's defense value at all. What it does is make it harder for a single attack to score two hits against the vehicle. A single attack must score enough successes to beat the target vehicle's defense rating by 2, not just by 1, in order to score two hits.

To clarify your example, a Tiger I has frontal defense 7 and Superior Armor 2. That means 7 successes against the tank's frontal armor would cause 1 hit while 9 successes against the tank's front would cause 2 hits. Without Superior Armor 2, 8 successes would cause 2 hits. Note that Superior Armor 2 has no effect at all against three attacks (14 successes against the tank's front will still cause 3 hits.) The tank is still disrupted by one hit, damaged by two hits, and destroyed by three hits. Superior Armor 2 just makes it harder to get two hits from a single roll of the dice, and that's all it does.
