A crush on you

[PoorOldSpike]

Guns are surrounded by a "crush zone" of about 15 metres. Any tank that enters that zone will usually make the gun crew run off rather than stick around and be crushed.
I've seen it happen in games and ran this test to confirm it, I turned the tanks turret to the rear to stop it blasting,and set foggy dawn weather to help the gun crew stay unspotted, then ordered the T-34 to race down the road from right to left straight over the gun. Bingo, as soon as it crested the rise, the gun crew saw it and ran without firing.
Neither did the tanks bow MG fire, confirming the gun crew bolted simply because they saw a steel monster bearing down on them (below) and no shots were fired by either side, not even the tanks MG's..
(the tank continued on and rolled straight over the gun)
