During a round on Dragon Ridge, I was facing off against a Type 59 I shot and got the Enemy Destroyed log, plus on the team roster it is dead, but the tank itself still looks active. not blown up says it had 9% health left, and no shots could damage it. It wasnt even greyed out like when all crewmembers have died.

You killed all the crew.

The undead tanks thing has been a problem through 8.0 series.

I didnt think so, as the tank logo above greys out and damage will still apply to the hull

This thing was impervious to the KV-1S to its rear from point blank range.

Same thing happened to an m4 we were fighting against... you should make it that we can still kill the tank... if the crew is dead. I don't like how it seems they are invincible... and you waste 2 shells or more thinking he can't be killed :P

Despite, it is true - you can kill all the crew and the tank is not destroyed. And the above picture shows exactly that. You can see the same with tanks driving into deep water.

Here is my tip: You see an enemy tank with a dead crew and you are too far from the action - e.g. one tank left on the other team and on the other end of the map - you can destroy the rest of the tank and get XP and credits for it. I do that with suicide SPG if I can hit them - if they are too far in the water, it might be hard to aim at them.

When you encounter this, you will not be able to damage the tank no matter how many times you shoot it. I believe this to be a bug. The "all dead crew" scenario had, in the past, shown the tank as destroyed and not active. If you can shoot a tank (crew alive or not) and reduce HP, it is not the same scenario as this.
