Thanks, I thought some later Pz IVs had power traverse but wasn't sure. Pz III was only manual. I have traversed some of these turrets and they are light and easy to move, maybe they felt the power wasn't needed. In a hurry, you can always have the driver swing to one direction or the other to help the initial lay.....the way Sturmgeschütz crews worked.

On that note, the Russian T-55 and T-62 turrets are very fast with manual and traverse very easy on a level....don't know how they'd be on a an steep incline with no real counterbalance for that gun. The T-80 and T-90s are supposed to have an unbelievably fast traverse....about 9 seconds for full 360.
