Gun rotation between buildings

And what about some of those JPz things with the gun sticking so far out the front. You'd think those puppies would have had terrible trouble turning around in cramped terrain, or negotiating more than very gentle slopes.

Tanks don't often level trees in a tactical battlefield situation.

The trees would be levelled by engineers or infantry prior to the battle OR the tank would simply move into a better position.

As for the original question.. I'm not sure.

Weight distribution was a big problem for the

Jagdpanzer IV and even more so for the Jpz IV/70 with this nice 75L70 gun.If my book is right, they were very "frontlastig" which means that far too much weight was concentrated in the front because of their guns, so they had a hard time maneuvering in difficult terrain and bogged down more easily than other tanks.
