Surely it would be more difficult to hit a target travelling across the line of fire than if it was travelling directly towards the firer. In my Modern rules - which by the way are mainly those of R.Cassen and S.Chapman (scaled down to suit my board) but have been influenced by yourself - a deduction is made for vehicles travelling between 0 and 30 degrees off right angles with the firer. The amount of the deduction varies with the speed of the target - a half-track being obviously harder to hit than a Churchill because it is travelling so much faster.
