I imagine the turning of the tank to speed target acquisition is largely a side-effect of how you want to turn your tank to face any serious threat, anyway. The front armor is the thickets, and you usually want your heaviest armor toward the enemy.

I meant when whitman and co got into a Tiger they used both turret and turn to face the enemy quickly... taking lessons they had in a Stug III (which didn't have a turret).
