It did not end well for the M1. Sadly.
Good. Let's also figure out a good system for ramming vehicles into each other, people, cows, buildings, etc.

The reason I picked your quote is that it reminded me of a situation the players manning an M1 got into during a duel with a T-80. The T-80 came out from behind a building, less then 20 meters away. Anyway, they ended up in this corkscrewing dance of death, getting closer and closer to each other somehow not able to hit each other (except for the TCs, who were both shot by PCs and NPCs who were not part of the tank crews). Finally, the PCs in the M1 ended up side on to the T-80 with its gun muzzle centimeters away from the turret front of the T-80, of course couldn't miss at that range, and blew a sabot into the turret, with the T-80's turret exploding.

We were using miniatures, which really helped.

Shouldn't the M1 have been damaged somewhat by that?
