Russian tanks because of their low profile and auto loaders do not as easily hull-down. Perhaps one take-away from the current news is this ability should not be allowed for those post T-55 era tanks built like that. (T-55/62/64/72/80...etc).
Also as each shot is displayed could a color/symbol/text indicate if a non-penetration was due to a hull-down advantage?
Well if I learned one thing about Soviet made tanks is that they do "fantastically well" in dug in positions when they are facing anything that isn't unarmed civilians.

Not much if any advantage against a "top attack" weapon.
