Hi Guys
"Are they really though Mal or is that just a Hollywood interpretation? I'm assuming gunfire would leave some sort of mark on your average WW2 tank but does anyone have any real reference pics?"

"Hey Mal, as much as I enjoy your posts and respect your skills, I have to say that using a Hollywood movie for reference of ANY KIND is a really bad idea."

Both good points, haven't actually shot up a real tank myself - just ceramic tile armour & plastic ones. However that damage rings true -shiny metal - but I doubt that it stays in that condition very long, maybe as short as a couple of hours?
Might be a good suggestion for Mythbusters to test?
