The point of never turning your back to the enemy entails mainly keeping the main gun in the direction of your enemy. Sometimes you have to bug out in a hurry to get out of the area and running in reverse can't do it. (on a real tank) The most vital tank tactical skill is being able to keep your frontal (heavy armor) toward the enemy, but direction of travel and road layout prevent this. When you move, keep the turret traversed on where you last saw the enemy, to where you can stop and get off a shot with the least
turret movement. On a 1;1, the gunner will do this instinctively, but on a one person control box being the TC, gunner and driver, a bit more involved. Becomming familiar with the controls and given a bit of practice, this maneuver will be a big benfit.
