Worth noting that in WWII British destroyers several times engaged German tanks over open sights and a 4.7 or 4.5 inch AP shell hitting a tank is going to spoil their whole day.

Equally Battleship gun fire (in the case of the RN in WWII 14, 15 or 16 inch) was noted as upending even German Tiger tanks...
