What’s the deal with the misaligned crosshair and the tank shooting in the wrong direction? When you aim at the center of the crosshair and the reticle, it fires in a completely different direction due to the misplacement of the crosshair.
I guess that your optics and gun are not same speed and you move your optics faster than your gun could keep up.
You need to learn how to aim with certain tanks, they aren’t always obvious.
Just a hypothesis. You are apparently using Ho-Ri. The Ho-Ri gunner periscope is on top of the vehicle.
So it may happen situation where the gun is blocked by the obstacle but the periscope is not due to being located higher than the gun.

Thanks. That sounds plausible. I’ll step out of the tank next time and investigate if that’s indeed the situation.
Also, there’s the issue of parallax (a difference in angle between the optics, and bore, in this case). This MIGHT be worse in tank destroyers because they don’t have rotating turrets, and because it stands to reason that their optics are calibrated to longer ranges (because they are designed to destroy tanks at range) which would make point of aim significantly different than point of impact at the ranges at which engagements occur, in this game (virtually all within, what 300 meters? That’s basically point blank for those things).
