Another point to remember is the gunner's view is restricted to his sights and what he can see past the driver and commander. Perhaps slightly better than a tank gunner, but in my mind the lack of a turret hatch is a serious drawback - at least in a tank the commander can poke his head out without getting whacked with the main gun as it turns around.
