To: drop 50 and fire for effect
Close in that cannon is going to shred anything but frontal armor.

Agreed. If the tank is buttoned up, the 25mm rounds may tear up the vision blocks so the driver cannot see to drive. And he isn't going to stick his head out to see. Same is true for the commander's vision blocks. And he isn't likely to stick his head out to see either. The gunner's optics can also be wrecked by a single lucky hit, and those rounds can also badly damage the track links. Blind the beast and immobilize it and it is nearly helpless. Then back up until you can fire a TOW2B at it and you have a very dead tank.
