Oh come on guys it just hit the tire, crew should be fine!

This is only for blitzkrieg and not normandy.
 
m18 hellcat - when turret is facing rear (in target arc mode) and if open up key is used,back of commander is exposed through tank.

m3a1 HT 2xmg- when facing back of half track gunners, back sticks through the armor in front
m5a1 late - when turret facing rear, commander sticks through armor right side of him and his back
m20 - commanders feet are sticking right through bottom of car. when engaging target behind vehicle gun stick through commander. Always wondered why instant crew casualties.
m8 - when target light is used commander sticks through turret only when turret is facing to the side.
m10 and m10 late and m36- unable to target light command using 50 cals, no button. didn't check the hellcat or chafee
m8 mid commander kicks out through bottom briefly when open up command
m2a1 halftrack spawns with no gunner only driver

Here are some tips for the M8 HMC, M20, M8 GREYHOUND, Priest, Half-Tracks, MG Jeeps
 
I thought it was a terrible idea but many US vehicles are opened topped letting in enemy fire, grenades, mortars, water etc.. Here are some tips to make them come to life and work better for you.
 
-Park under trees in the shadows, this will minimize enemy seeing you at a distance and will increase your fire hits. If an enemy can't see you in the dark shadows his shots will be poor.
-Don't park or travel below an enemy that is above you..
-Stay away from fields with many shrubs, for the enemy that you can't see will toss grenades inside.
-Half-Tracks need to park far away from buildings an mg-42 will go them with ease. (only when close) You can park right up behind an allied tank to unload near to a building though.
-If you are defending an area with an m20 or greyhound go hull down behind a stone wall, if there is none hull down behind anything, a bush is better than nothing.
-Use them to work together with troops. They will expose enemy for you and you will to them.
-Another good thing about trees is some protection from mortars and return fire.
-Don't park in a way where the vehicle looks like it's tipping to one side and exposes the entire inside to the enemy, try to find even ground.
-Yet another thing about trees is harder for aircraft to spot you.
-Don't park close to buildings with open topped vehicles where they can throw grenades or shoot down inside. Stay on the outskirts of towns or in hedges!
-Align your armor so the front is facing the enemy.
-Use HE for indirect fire, enemy troops will start to run away, this is when you should pop out of tank hatch to use the coaxial guns. Works very good.
-Clear MG-42s in buildings. Most of these vehicles have a .50 caliber mg, that is a big round that will go through any houses or building with ease. It is nothing an mg-42 team is willing to stick around for. But yet again make sure you are far enough way from buildings, .50 cal and your cannon has a longer range than the mg-42.
-Force an enemy to blow it's cover. Pop out of the turret and directly back in once in awhile to let enemy troops shoot and you, if they are dumb enough to try. you have the location now, and can use HE or canister indirect fire on the area.
-In a rainy missions unsure of game modifier but tree cover may help aiming the gun and stop water on crew for that better shot.
-Unsure of dirt road dust causes poor aim for open top stuff as well.

My suggestion to you Ian, would be if you can't contribute to the thread don't post in it.. The sun top is a moot point no sense in keeping up on the rambling about it eh?

That was kind of a moronic post womble, at most got any tips for open top vehicles or any offerings to the thread?

^ It's hard to imagine stuff that works.......
 
The rest is just modifiers.

Nice video what did the impacts say couldn't read it. The stuart has a high velocity 37mm just like the 37mm anti-tank gun. The penetration values are similar to the m4 shermans weak low velocity 75mm believe it or not.It could fire canister for anti-troop purposes as well but I doubt battelefront added that as ammo?
The inner city is not a place for Tigers to be..
The Tiger tanks turret speed and general track speed is slow. It would probably be quicker for a tiger to track turn instead of a turret turn.
 
The closer the stuart gets to an enemy tank the more deadly it is. Since the M8 greyhound also has the 37mm, It could probably do the same. If a .50cal could not out a tanks engine from behind, the 37 would have no problem knocking out any tanks engine from behind.
 
Shermans and Stuarts reign in inner city battles.. Up close is where the 75mm WORKS as well.

Just like to share this, thought it was neat.
