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).
I would say 'no' because tank leaders have no combat bonus as do regular leaders. Tank leaders cannot combine AFV's in adjacent hexes, they can only activate them. Of course, they (AFVs in adjacent hexes) could take separate OFs at the same moving units.
Now were you to have a hex with a tank and a regular leader (with +1 combat bonus) and have an infantry unit in an adjacent hex, then the tank/reg-leader hex could activate-for-OF and the regular leader could also activate-for-OF the adjacent INF and they could fire combined (and, of course, all would get two M/F markers or a DIY OF marker).
Just my $0.02.
Poor is correct. Tank leaders are a bit less powerful than infantry leaders with regard to fire control.
