I have noticed something like that happen, but haven't thought anymore of it. This makes me think that I should teach to each of my drivers how to crash in to the house

Seriously speaking: It would be very nice if tanks could get in the stone building, barn cave or something like that without immobilizing themselves. mosh

What would be cool is to have 'small' buildings that do NOT occupy the full hex. A 50 meter hex can contain several houses i think. Usually even a BIG house will be less than 20x20m so a tank should be able to enter the garden near the house in the same hex and not bump into the house... i always feeled the building hexes from sp3 would quite suit to SP2 scale... And for multihex buildings vehicles shoud be able to ENTER building and not crush it

I totally agree on the buildings been such that one can enter the hex without getting immobilized. Especially the farm houses are probably not 50*50 meters and if there are some in adjacent hexes there should be space between them. But i guess the engine can not handle that.

The Tiger I turret could be traversed by hand. "The gunner's hand traverse and elevation wheels were used to make fine adjustement (laying the target onto the peak of proper triangle in the sight reticle). If the power traverse failed, the turret could be traversed by hand. The gunner could be assisted by the commander using the auxiliary hand traverse."
