G6 Rhino Turret rotation values should be corrected

The G6 Rhino SPG in the British tech tree is currently limited to a mere 80° traverse over the frontal arc of the vehicle contrary to real life where the vehicle can traverse the turret a total of 180° frontal of the vehicle, the issue has in fact been reported in the bug forums however despite being given photo evidence the moderators have deemed it insufficient.

Now this post is not only being made to inform people of the vehicles actual capability to traverse further than it can in game but it’s also a place to collect future information regarding the vehicle in order to finally have this issue resolved.

The images relevant to the vehicle’s turret traverse are below.

Are they keeping it at its current traverse limits due to, what im assuming, is a limit on what angle it can actually fire from? If so are there any vehicles in game that should have this limit but dont we could use to argue for its addition.

The traverse limits implemented in game are due to doctrinal limits, the firing arc of 80° front is intended to reduce wear and damage on the turret ring, suspension and support arms of the vehicle when firing as doing so over the left or right of the vehicle will wear the components out excessively, it is however not a physical limitation that prevents the gun from firing.
