It either can't be implemented properly or simply hasn't been done yet.

It has at least been attempted:

Yeah I saw that video a while ago, pretty neat.
Altough personally I think tanks turrets (maybe TOWs idk) should be controlled by WASD keys if these "gyro stabilizers" are implemented.

These thread, however is a re-suggestion outside of the suggestion form, so....yeah.

The problem then is of course that you can only ever move the turret at one particular speed. Meaning you can either have a turret that traverses quickly or one that can be aimed accurately at longer ranges(of course you can also have a turret that does neither well :p ).

Wouldn't be able to have stabilizers and stuff. It's all hardcoded into BF2's engine. While the video above which was done with BF2142's engine, can do this sort of thing.
