one ton of mass moving fast (falling or swinging) enough will knock off the turret, Russian tanks don't have a bussel(sp). in WW2 a 152/155/5.5 in hoz would knock off Tiger turrets just by the force of the hits. (KV2 i know did this). they would not pen the armor. i also could see that it would knock off the tracks. and aspirin is not going to help with that headache. it would be a new take on city fighting.
