Is Tank Spotting TOTALLY bugged?

[Volksgrenadier]

I know that trees can be problematic. But somehow I never before noticed that spotting is so off in the open, too:

Realistic tank tactics involve meticulous hulldown positioning. But how is the player supposed to position his tanks, with infos given to the player and ingame graphics being so different? How much more must a tank be exposed until it is recognized as NOT hulldown?

Is that known? If yes, how do others cope with that?

I am close to stop playing CMx2 immediately.
