I agree on that, too.

BTW, about turret rotation speed here are some useful data:

Tanks:

- M1 Abrams (105mm): 40º/sec. => 200º/turn
- IPM1: 40º/sec. => 200º/turn
- M1A1: 40º/sec. => 200º/turn
- M1A2: 40º/sec. => 200º/turn
- M60: 20º/sec.=>100º/turn
- M60A1: 22.5º/sec.=>112.5º/turn
- M60A2: 40º/sec.=> 200º/turn
- M60A3: 22.5º/sec =>112.5º/turn
- M48: 24º/sec. => 120º/turn
- M48A1: 24º/sec. => 120º/turn
- M48A2: 24º/sec. => 120º/turn
- M48A3: 24º/sec. => 120º/turn
- M48A5: 24º/sec. => 120º/turn
- Leopard 1: 24º/sec. => 120º/turn
- Leopard 1A4: 24º/sec. => 120º/turn
- Leopard 2: 30º/sec => 150º/turn
- Leopard 2A4: 30º/sec => 150º/turn
- T62: 17º/sec=> 85º/turn
- T72A: 20º/sec=>100º/turn
- T72B: 24º/sec. => 120º/turn
- T72S: 24º/sec. => 120º/turn

IFV:

- M2 Bradley: 60º/sec=> 300º/turn
- M2A1 Bradley: 60º/sec=> 300º/turn
- M2A2 Bradley: 60º/sec=> 300º/turn

SP Artillery

- M109: 11º/sec: => 55º/turn
- M109A1: 11º/sec: => 55º/turn
- M109A2: 11º/sec: => 55º/turn
- M109A6: 11º/sec: => 55º/turn

It seems that soviet tanks would be in some disadvantage with their turret traverse rate agains their western rivals.

Sadly I've been unable to find the turret traverse rates for the T-80 and T-90. In some forums people seems to think that the T-90 turret speed would be equivalent to the turret speed of the Abrams and that the T-80 (first types) turret speed would be the same as for the T-72B.
