Why didn't people attach bulletproof screens that extend from the sides of tanks to support infantry advances in WW1 and 2?

Screens have holes in them dumbass the bullets would go right through it

>Your the guy who started the thread about Napoleonic infantry carrying steel shield with them aren't you?

The Game Ground Contol had a siege tank that did just that, swing out their tank tread skirt as a long fence like panel of armor for infantry to make gun lines.

To take out a tank with a mortar you would need an almost direct hit
If you cluster foot mobile infantry nearby you have made a miss as profitable as a direct hit.
