Sense 2: a vehicle whose firepower systems are damaged (as opposed to easily attested sense 1, the damage itself). Equinox ◑ 16:49, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
- Medical personnel might metonymically say something like “the ruptured appendix has been prepared for surgery” when they mean that the patient suffering from a ruptured appendix is ready for surgery. It seems to me that this is similar metonymy, referring to an entity (a tank damaged by a firepower kill) by a currently salient aspect (the firepower kill it suffered). That is not worth being listed as a separate sense. --Lambiam 18:50, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
