tank turret speed

how fast can tanks/apcs rotate their turrets irl? probably just me, but i think the turrets move kind of too fast and this makes it really easy to do thins like shoot down little birds and engage very close infantry.

pretty sure the m2 bradley turret moves really slowly

360 in 8 seconds on M1A1, so I've heard. 0_o

EDIT; Oh, are we talking "ingame" wise? I have the G7, so I can zoom in and turn down the sensitivity on the mouse.

Mine is pretty slow, but my sensitivity is turned down to .8

All Abrams versions max turret traverse rate = 40°/sec.

In real life, those humvee .50 cal turrents...how do guys turn those? Do they put their bodyweight into it or something? How do you spin around?

Body weight if unarmored humvee. Armored there is a crank.
