You could try to fire upon an incoming plane with the tower MG though.
I knew a German WW2 tank crew member, he never mentioned they gave it a try on airplane with the main gun - I mean hitting a moving target, in the air, in WW2? Thats not worth it.
It all makes sense if you read the quote as:

"Moving tanks now do not stop to fire a large caliber gun at a fast-flying plane."

Previously, the tank AI could make them stop to take a shot at planes with their main guns. Now they won't.

See my previous post - it's a translation thing
