How to hit a certain target with a projectile?

Hello everyone,
I have a tank in a top down view and when i click on the screen the turret turns and firest a projectile
all great so far:-)
but i cant get the projectile to hit the point i clicked on :-)
Is there a way to set a traget for a projectile instead of a vector and its velocity?
this is my fire function which takes the object(tank) and the targetposition as parameters:
would be awsome if anyone had an idea on how something like this could be done
thx a lot in advance for any hints:-)

function TankShape::onTargetReached(%tank, %tar){
// Create a big smoke emitter at the end of the gun when you fire
%smoke = new ParticleEmitterNode() {
dataBlock = TankSmokeEmitterNodeData;
emitter = TankFireSmokeEmitter;
};
%MuzzlePosition = %tank.getMuzzleTransform();
%x = getWord(%MuzzlePosition,0);
%y = getWord(%MuzzlePosition,1);
%z = getWord(%MuzzlePosition,2);
%z = %z+5;
%smoke.setTransform(%x@" "@%y@" "@%z@" 0 0 0 0");
echo(%tar);
%muzzleVector = %MuzzlePosition;
%objectVelocity = %tank.getVelocity();
%muzzleVelocity = VectorAdd( VectorScale(%muzzleVector, RocketProjectile.muzzleVelocity),
VectorScale(%objectVelocity, RocketProjectile.velInheritFactor) );
// Create a new rocket projectile object...
%p = new (Projectile)()
{
dataBlock = RocketProjectile;
initialVelocity = %muzzleVelocity;
initialPosition = %tank.getMuzzlePoint("Mount0");
sourceObject = %tank;
sourceSlot = "Mount0";
client = %tank.client;
};
MissionCleanup.add( %p );
}would be awsome if anyone had an idea on how something like this could be done
thx a lot in advance for any hints:-)
