And you'd better hope that M1 has lost its turret traverse as well.

I may be talking out of my hat, but IIRC on the early M1s didn't the engine have to be running to power the turret traverse? Then later marks (M1A2?) added a diesel generator to power the turret and other systems without the main engine being run.
I've always been curious, how would the gun of a modern light tank, say the 76mm of a
Scorpion fare against the armour of WW2 era tanks like the T34 or Tiger?
