When crewmember pops hatch to remove stick you cut his throat.
This would then be a great time to have a gernade or Molotov cocktail.
Gurrilla Warfare can & does work. Look at Vietnam.
First off, the M1 doesn't have view slits. Those went away after WW2. The M48's and later use view prisms of armored glass. A stick won't even scratch it.
Second, the turret gears are on the INSIDE of the tank and not expopsed to the outside. Your premise on this level of attack are rather beneath contempt.
Third, tanks do not go anywhere alone. You use the 30 cal to "scratch the back" of a fellow tank, as they did in Viet Nam.
Fourth protecting tanks from infantry is what the friendly infantry is for, as I stated before tanks don't go anywhere alone.
I was in armor and taught briefly at Ft. Knox, but hey far be it from me to correct your ignorance of modern weaponry and tactics.
