IMHO, a glancing hit should NEVER destroy a vehicle. It did only glance after all.

That I definitely agree with. It seems highly illogical that a glacing hit should destroy a tank, no matter how freakish and unlikely.

On the other hand, tanks seem to be everywhere in today's game (a sharp contrast to when I last played), and I'm not sure I'd want them to become any tougher, because then they'd really take over.
