Well, during WWII (and to a great extent even today) tanks would not go anywhere terrain where enemy infantry might hide without having infantry support of their own: they would have been a charred wreck in a matter of minutes. This is not modelled in any way in the game, since the mechanics are geared towards tank vs tank and do not model all the many ways infantry could attack a tank by swarming it and using explosives, improvised devices or simply shooting through visor ports. Also there is nothing to portray the fact that a tank buttoned up, as it surely would be when infantry is around, has its field of vision severely restricted: this is another consequence of the “three hundred feet general syndrome” which is especially evident in the case of WWII games, where very rarely you find modeled that “empty battlefield” that has been told many times by veterans
