Question: Tank Hits

I haven't loaded the save but:

If the target is dug in, then few if any hull hits will occur.

If the target is higher than the firer then hits to the turret will tend to predominate, until very high when hull hits will be infinitesimal (hull down target).

Ah, I just checked and the tank is dug in. Too bad there isn't some visual way to show that, like the foxholes for infantry.

I didn't understand the second comment. It seems if the target is higher than the firer, then there would be more hull hits since the hull would block the lower angle shots from hitting the turret.
