We recently decided *not* to count barrel hits because (a) they can 
happen when two tanks are facing each other and otherwise wouldn't be 
able to score and (b) they give tanks with short barrels and/or no flash 
suppressor a bigger advantage.  (Tanks with stubby barrels already have 
numerous advantages, including more stable, better accuracy, and easier 
to turn.)  Eliminating barrel hits also eliminates some squabbling over 
what are otherwise lucky shots.
