I disagree. When someone is buttoned up in a tank, they cant see much
at all, and alot of small arms fire plinking off the side of the tank
can be pretty loud. Remember, there are people inside driving, and you
cant tell what it is hitting your tank, or if it is simply the precursor
to a more dangerous attack. If we are talking about being historical,
there are many examples in WWII of heavily armoured tanks being driven
off by small armes fire. I like the new rule.
