Where you expect an attack However using something that can adjust it's aim would be much more useful than muffiling the sound disturbing nearby communities. I know the germans are too smart to mass produce these but they may however had one too many beers and came up with the idea of a silencer the size of the tank and then constructed it for shits and giggles, now that I can believe!
