Its not a matter of if they sit still or not. a tank is a big thing that moves very quickly for its size and weight. sure sometimes you will manage to move aside or duck between the tracks. sometimes not. the drill in which you run over infantry includes such a violent use of the supressive firepower of the tank that the enemy in question is likely curling in a ball on the floor, not dashing for safety like a 100m runner in the olympics. the infantry and bazooka drills both use the entire weaponry of the tank, including the main gun, coaxial, TC machinegun, WP launchers, and finally grenades at close range.
You said you were an IDF tank commander,and as one so intitled of such an expensive machine go recklessly in a attempt to run down some cowering grunts?
What if they have some friendlies near by? i would think in real life,nothing is 100% sure,just the near presence of enemy units would be a major influence in a close assualt.
