Actual training documents and field manuals to learn this game?

The way I see, gunnery is one half of the game (with a difficulty slider from M1 Abrams to T-55) for which there are numerous guides, but the other half is planning and executing tactical manouevres and I must admit I have no idea how to approach this. I understand basic concepts like hull down and shoot-and-scoot, but I am lost when actually looking at the map, coming up with possible approaches, identifying good shooting positions, anticipating enemy positions and then coordinating this into a battle-plan.

So, my idea is to look at historical manuals and try to understand how to think about tactics and build a mental model of the battlefield. Has anyone tried this? What would the best starting points for NATO and for WP?

Is this actually possible? 14.5 mm round penetrating Abrams turret ring and hitting the commander

Not a tank expert, so I literally don't know if such a hit could in reality breach the fighting compartment (the amount of luck required to hit the turret ring notwithstanding).

P.S. Fully aware of how shitty my tactical positioning was to even allow such a hit. I'm just beginning to learn this game.
