9- and then turn their attention to the infantry, wiping them out after a few turns of firing.
Note the holes that have been blasted in the hedge.
(Incidentally throughout the whole test I never issued any targetting orders, I simply let the panzers pick their own targets and fire at will)-

Conclusions
a- ATG's are too big to hide behind a standard hedge; the best they can hope for is that the partial cover will buy them just enough time to be the first to open fire before they're spotted.
b- Infantry on Hide behind a hedge are very difficult to spot, at least at longish ranges.
