gearbox did not allow for shifting into reverse while the vehicle was moving

Ummm this is probably like, a good thing? You don't want to crank 20 tonnes suddenly in reverse when it's moving full forward.

The other things are pretty bad, true. Especially the uncommanded turrent movements, that can really chop off a limb in the wrong situation. The gun firing is probably not quite as bad because I assume most of the time it wouldn't actually be loaded.

Assumptions are typically frowned upon when dealing with munitions. Not to imply that you're incorrect with that line of thought. The issue comes into play when the tank operator makes the same assumption and happens to get a little cold. Guns really should only have one trigger.

It's certainly better than letting you break the gear, but still, you'd expect reverse to be able to assist with braking.

Just like you always do with your car, right?

Slam it in reverse to help braking! It'll be so stopped!

I watched a guy recently try to put his truck in reverse while moving. It's actually fucking hard to even do that in the first place.
