The target tank in the training ground needs internal crews to observe the aircraft cannon and tank cannon effectiveness of actual combat.
And also we need x-ray to see the aircraft cannon’s killing effect to tanks

To be honest, I am a flying sniper type of player and have more than 500hours flying experience on antitank -aircraft. I played lagge3-34,Yak9T，Yak9K .IL2NS37.Bf110C6and other planes which have AP shells . But there still something troubles me a lot in Enlisted gameplay is the aircraft cannon in training mode is much different form the true match game battle.
In training mode I often to shoot where the tank engine is. Ensure to set engine on fire. Then the tank will explode due to fire within half a minute. But I hardly kill any tank by damaged the Ammo part because even I shoot out all cannon ammo, Tank only have very very low chance to explode. And without X-ray I cannot clearly know what damage I done to the tank. So that the damage to tank is random under my eye, because I don’t know.
Then we all know in training mode tanks all empty, which means we can’t kill a tank by killing all the tank crews. But in match play ,all tank have crews, they even can repair tank or put out fire, means aircraft cannon cannot killed any tank before killed tank crews. The scene often meet in my match play is I shoot all the ammo to the top of tank but didn’t killed any tank crews and they all live or I shoot engine and set tank on fire ,but the crews can easily put out without anyone dead.
I do killed tanks in match play by using shoot to killed all crews or burned all crews. But those only happened in instant dead. I actually don’t know why sometimes the fire is too deadly and roasted everyone in 5 seconds or even one aircraft cannon shell can killed all crews. Of course these two situations are really difficult to meet in match play.
I think players who play anti-tank aircraft should receive better encouragement than those who only know Kamikaze, because Kamikaze suicide attacks are very non-technical, they just aim at the tank and hit it. However, using anti-tank cannons requires players to have a considerable level of proficiency in aircraft operation, aiming and prediction abilities, as well as a thorough understanding of shell performance and enemy tank armor protection. Only then can they achieve the effect of killing tank occupants or damaging tank components through one or more dives or level flights, which is obviously more complex and enjoyable than kamikaze attacks, The sense of achievement gained by players through this behavior is also extremely different. But currently, players who play this way are often considered beginners or ignorant of the game, because the efficiency of using anti-tank aircraft cannon to kill tanks is too low compared to kamikaze attacks.
Sure, would be nice.
I find anti tank cannons on planes more fun than bombs. personal preference brought over from warthunder

This actually indirectly encourages the Kamikaze style suicide aircraft gameplay, because using aircraft cannons to kill tanks is more difficult and the consequences are very random. You may destroy the tank in one go, but more often than not, the enemy tank is just scratched, and in some campaign high level tanks are now indestructible. Even if a person is still alive in the tank, they can still control the tank, This makes your attack meaningless.
Tiger II still too indestructible even shoot on the top of it
