Tanks and Opportunity Fire

[Shad]

Can tanks in adjacent hexes, if activated by a tank leader, combine their FP for an opportunity fire attack. Direct fire only, not AT, naturally. I assumed so (much to the chagrin of some advancing SS SCH units, who found out that 2 T34bs and a JSU-122 can really do terrible things to them).

According to Rule 1.1 and Rule 7.33, units in adjacent hex need a leader with an appropriate combat modifier to combine fire. Tank leaders, as PY pointed out, would never have a modifier so this is impossible.
