tanks

[Mike Abberton]

The game also models the various types of optics, with the Allies generally limited to good and terrible optics, while the Germans have all sorts of options. I think the long-barrel StuGs had pretty good optics.

Regarding buttoned/unbuttoned tracking and spotting, the tank has a much better chance of spotting (and track I assume) if it has a cupola installed. I know some of the early war tanks do not have a cupola.
