Default Re: Tank turret emplacements?

Will, it's interesting on that 1st Berlin Panther turret that although it makes such a small target someone managed to give it a wallop. The mantlet is broken in half with a bit dangling from the barrel, the commander's and rear hatch are blown, the turret itself is cracked. It was a nice punch, possibly the ammo inside blew up.

And no, those weren't just buried Panthers, there was more than one design for these casemates with a Panther turret on top. I'll try to find something on them for you.
