Why is it that tank MG's always return back to a 90 degree angle to the right from the nose of the tank, when going back into the drivers position?  I'd like to see that gun stay in the last position it was left in...

Yes, very annoying.  Also, I'd like to see the default position be straight ahead, rather than 90-degrees.  When I first pop into the gunner position (where I spend most of my time while going cross-country), I would like to be pointed in the direction I'm moving, so as not to plow into a tree or over a cliff before I can slew the gun around to forward position.  However, this is secondary to getting gun to stay where I last left it.

It might have been AHI but the gun used to stay where you left it.  the other cool thing was you could aim the MG and point it at your target and when you went back to the main gun you would more or less be pointed at your target.
