When a Panzer IV crests the top of a hill, its shadow follows only one ground plane and doesn't "wrap" over to the intersecting ground plane. For instance, when climbing the hill where a base tower is located, the shadow will float in mid-air until the vehicle has crested the ridge and is sitting on the plataeu. It is visible from the tank commander's position.

I had a problem other day where i was chasing an La7 on the deck and we crested a hill, the shadow of the La7 went 1 way and the actual plane went another. It was actually kinda of funny, wish i had more time to watch where the shadow ended up.

I had the same problem as MISFIT, chasing a P38 over the crest of the hill and his shadow lifted into the air.

Later on I was chasing a p51 through valley's as we approached a hill he had to climb over I closed to 400 and about to open fire. It disappeared I thought he'd booted and pulled up only to see him extended about a 1k away. A another guy behind me stated he had continual visual on him all the time.
