Note driver's head and hatch swung out to the side. I think a good rifleman putting a few 3-round bursts (from his M-16A2) just below that open hatch are going to do damage to that driver before he can close the hatch.

I'd certainly rather go with a 105mm HE or HEAT round. But if all you have is a M16A2, it works for me.

It'd help if the rifleman has a little elevation, about turret roof height or a little more.

You catch the irony of the name on that French AML-90 kit wheelie?

It's also possible that there were differences between the French/Belgian-produced AML-90s and the South African/Littleton produced Elands that I was around. But in both your pic abd *this one* you can clearly see the pentagon-shaped *home plate driver's hatch.
