Try parking any vehicle on a hill, even a SMALL one, maybe 15 degree slope, and try shooting the turret. Especially the Goliath and Scorpion. I think it's really quite annoying and lessens the value of the vehicles on terrain that's even a little bit rough. Especially since the crosshair shows what you *want* to be aiming at, not what the turret is actually currently pointing at.
My recommendation is to allow more range to the turrets elevation, both up and down. So long as you can't shoot your own vehicle, and maybe not allow shooting straight up, but if you're parked on the side of a hill you should be able to shoot sideways away from the hill. If you can't, that's a serious design flaw of the turret; in the real world I imagine they eliminate such restrictions. Sure sometimes they'd just train the soldiers to park properly, but in a serious heavy UT style firefight you don't have time to deal with such piddly issues; oftentimes you don't get a second chance if your first shot goes straight into the ground next to you.
