Yeah, but the SU-5 would be well under the arc of the main gun of the T-95. the ONLY way that the tank crew could have stopped the SU-5 from doing this in real life would be to have the commander get up on the pintel machine gun (assuming the tank had one) and rain fire into the open top of the SU-5.
I'm assuming that the GAME wouldn't allow him to do this, having no option for it. ^_^
(googling world of tanks to check it out)
Edit: Oh wait... looking at the photo more closely - the big tank doesn't actually seem to HAVE a turret!. Original comment still stands though, assuming a turning turret.
Though ... oh. Sudden thought: A tank gun muzzle blast going off over your head LITERALLY less than 5-10 feet away... the backblast alone would be enough to stun or seriously hurt the crew in an open-topped vehicle like that.

I've been playing this. Mostly rocking the SEA servers in tier 1, 2 & 3 light tanks, pretty much all of them researched to elite. None of them French.
I can have surprisingly good matches in my T1, Ltractor, Pz.Kpfw. II & Cruiser Mk. III., provided I'm not one-shoted by arty, someone with 'magic rounds' or in a low tier tank in a higher tier match.

Say, I'm curious about something...
Does anyone think that they can recreate that stunt they pulled in Girls und Panzer where the challenging school managed to take out that freaking Maus? I'm not clear on the particulars (models of tanks) but they managed to wedge one tank under the Maus's tracks, immobilizing it, and then leapfrogged another tank up to immobilize the turret (while pointed about 270 degrees), then used a final tank to nail the engine compartment through the exposed radiator grating from a higher elevation.

Yeah, I would expect something like that would have to be completely staged on both sides. And, if penalties for losses are assigned in this game, then I would imagine there'd be a pretty steep one for losing a Maus.

Well I've found someone's warm-up attempts. Result:
Maus wins!!

.... While I can believe that hitting a Maus with a Hetzer like that would work out as well as it did in the clip, I find the results of the attempt to immobilize the turret to be ridiculous... I mean, did it really just explode the moment the Maus tried to move?
And here we learn that World of Tanks is indeed just a game and not a simulator.

They explain in the notes, that the game counts driving over tanks as taking damage for both the driver & drivee and as the Maus has a lot of HP the seen result is inevitable.

OUCH. Okay, I'm in full support of fair play and KISS, but that's taking it to an outlandish degree. :p
