They\'d send the planes out to find and kill tanks. Whether or not the tanks were engaged with friendly forces is a bonus, but not a necessity.

Umm..... *puts cap on and gets out his big big book called \"the hawker hurricane\"*

IIB\'s IIC\'s and some IID\'s were used in the close support role.. mainly in Africa...

IIB\'s packing 12 brownings and bombs were the primary CAS utilised version.
IIC\'s packing 4 30mm were used to harrass enemy reinforcements.
IID\'s the few that were used in the CAS role were on a trial basis (book says a total of 7 used) and were under the direct command of Monty himself. It didnt work well (they were sitting ducks for infantry machine guns) so they were transferred to anti-shipping and Typhoons brought in to be tested... they weren\'t much better in Africa than Hurricanes so weren\'t deployed operationaly.
