Or simply sabotage after the crew fleed. IIRC, they were told to drain the recoil cylinders and let it get stuck back, damage or remove the breech block, set a termite charge on the engine block. And more (iirc).
Hmm, I suppose this method would’ve taken extra time then? If it was a worthwhile means of disabling the vehicle I’d find it suprising we don’t see more photos of it.
Well i did see multiple pictures of such and some written stuff from US troops who found some, but aparently late war many simply didnt care because the time it took.
Makes sense, when a properly-situated explosion could cause even greater damage I can understand why a more elaborate form of self-sabotage would be inconvenient.
Here also mentioned.

This really looks like the VK 30.01P I knew before. Now I really want this in the game, especially if it gets the 10.5cm. So many memories from when that other tank game was fun.

Well that’s new, great find. The guns appear to be M1919 Brownings, probably the M1919A4 variant.
Seems more likely now that I think about it, although still not likely to make much of a difference gameplay-wise.
There are some oddities in these threads, and I only skimmed through the first one fully.
