I am confused to the relationship between the turret ring
and the trunions. How does aiming for the former jam tha later?

A member of the 636th Tank Destroyers said the units tactic
was to aim short, and have the round skip off of the ground and
into the thin hull bottom. Of course, this only worked when the
ground was relatively hard. So, Afrika, okay. Italy, generally
okay, so long as it had not rained.
