Thanks guys. The "flaming wreck" icon clears up any ambiguity. None appeared in the WW2 scenario mentioned above but showed up in an ongoing MBT battle. Certainly not all, or even most tanks marked as "destroyed" for game purposes brew up or are damaged beyond repair. Nor should wrecked light vehicles obscure vision anywhere near as much as before.

So yeah, it seems the new rule is both more realistic and a legitimate game-changer. "If [Steel Panthers] be the food of love, play on, play on." Cheers.
