When firing the T-35's guns, does my opponent need to allocate hits to teams that have been hit by no gun before teams hit by any gun. Or can the opponent assign the hits so that each type of gun hits a single team before assigning the hits to the next team. Or does each type of gun completely resolve, all the way through firepower, before moving on to the next gun type. It really does not seem clear to me in the rulebook.

All guns fire, all hits are then allocated. The same as any other tank firing both main gun and MGs.

Alright, but lets say there is a tank with an MG. Can the opponent assign 3 mg shots to three separate tanks, then the 2 main gun shots against 2 other tanks.

You have to use the hit allocation rules that are found in the main rulebook.

In a general sense, yes.

Assuming your target all have the same armor value, all are the same distance away (closer than 16", further than 16").

You hit with 3 mg and 2 main guns...he assigns hits to each vehicle. If that is 5 then each tank gets one hit.

Things get different when you have multipe types in the target unit (infantry, tank teams) or different armor values (lowest armor hit first), or different ranges (two closer than 16, three further), or things like Jumbos or the gun tank rule.

Note that Letters From the Front does have a clarification when it comes to the Jumbos Lead the Way rule:

Can I shoot my tanks’ machine-guns at a platoon with a M4A3E2 Jumbo tank along with my main guns so that the player has to allocate a machine-gun hit to the Jumbo, saving the main gun hits for the other tanks?

If you run into a situation where this problem rears its head for some reason, the best idea is to start by allocating the main gun hits. Once they have been allocated, move on to the machine-gun hits and allocate them(taking into account the hits that have already been allocated).

As an example, if a Jumbo and a Sherman tank were hit once by a main gun and twice by machine-guns, the US player would declare that they are using the Jumbos Lead the Way rule for the main gun hits. That would mean the main gun hit was given to the Jumbo as it has the lowest armour (for this purpose).

The machine-gun hits are now allocated. The first has to go to the Sherman since the Jumbo already has a hit. The second goes on the Jumbo again since it has the lowest armour.
