I was referring to AT guns. AA guns, of course, nearly always have full movement on their mounts.

Then again, 0-speed "vehicles" that can be manhandled by a pair of crewmen are more mobile than 0-speed "vehicles" that can't be moved without a mover.

Despite the faxt that the 12.8cm Pak 44 was far too heavy to be manhandled, it was capable of 360 degree traverse on it's mount. From a quick scan of a book covering 20th century artillery, 60 degree traverse seems common for AT guns. Of course, a 37mm AT gun could fairly easily be moved by the crew to cover a greater arc, while a 128mm AT gun couldn't.
