That's why the Javelin missile has a top attack flight path option you can select from the CLU.

Tanks are battle angels confirmed.

Their halo the hatch, their protective field the coat of steel. Their booming cannon the voice of Heaven.

What's a halo meant to be, anyway? Might have to go and read about that.

Imagery likely derived from sun worship, maybe the corona during a solar eclipse. Interesting how things gradually change. Other places imply that a crown is supposed to emulate a halo, so maybe it's sun worship all the way down.
