There are very few "real" tanks which have their turret crew 
completely within the turret itself - the fighting compartment (the 
turret "basket") fills a lot of the hull space below the turret ring. 
In the case of the light grav, in order to keep the turret 
low-profile, I assumed that the commander's lower half would be down 
in the turret basket inside the hull. Yes, there's not a lot of elbow 
room either, but it's a small tank!  ;-)

We can certainly do a remote turret later as an option, though the 
one already available (V15-ACC2, as used on the Guncrab and Puma) 
would fit fine.
