    Looks like it’ll turn just past behind him.

      It really looked as if it won’t.
      Guess it’s just the camera angle. The tank looks much shorter (length) than in the diagrams too.

        Hey folks, maybe this’ll help:
        https://www.the-blueprints.com/blueprints-depot-restricted/tanks/tanks-a/arl_44_90mm-66769.jpg

        In the lower-left image, you can see that the turret rotates well behind the two, circular forward hatches. And of course, the main gun is well above the lookout’s head.

          That’s a LOT of gun. I just love those post-ww2 heavy tanks with their absurd proportions

            Whoopsie!
            Oh well, I’m happy to have added a little more context to the diagram, FWIW.

        The turret ring is WAY in front, so it basically rotates right along the edge, not bringing it forward much at all.

        Long telephoto lenses flatten the image on the Z axis.
