Fire priority goes by level of threat.
In a modern tank that would be helicopter over battle tank, battle tank over APC and even RPG over APC if closer than 400yards.

If you have two tanks you'll have check their position, or more precisely, the position of the gun - if it points to you the decision is obvious.

However, WW2 main guns were not stabilized, therefore they were unable to fire while moving.
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.
