M3 Halftracks should be able to tow them around, the smaller M2 was used to move Artillery around

I'm guessing the definition of the word "object" is being left open to interpretation here.

well ones things for sure is if there left in the open and non movable (changing locations) they will be as easy as ack guns to kill, which would make them useless

Negative.   IIRC, they were towed by "Gun Tractors", like the Crusader, etc.   A 1/2 track wouldn't cut it.

So if we have a man-able AT gun then it needs to be incorporated into the score system.  If you man a gun and it gets blown up it should count as a kill for the tank or plane killing you and it should count as a death for the player getting killed.  Same should take affect for manned ack guns on the fields and carriers as well.

Not according to my Information the M2 and M3 were considered Artillery Tractors, along with the SdKfz 7 the Germans used to tow 88's, my Father used them in Korea (see sig)

Kind of a stretch, but it looks like a M-3 fender in front of this 17 pounder.

Score for what?  Name in lights?  What if the manned gun isn't manned?

It's a new type of manned field gun.  It is the same gun as on the Firefly so it will be dangerous but it's also easy to take out given that it's a fixed open emplacement.
