As to the SPWW2 SPG's (even tho this isn't the SPWW2 forum) that's a game engine limitation thing.
Certain weapon slots have a built-in limited firing arc that's part of the core code and short of a total rewrite can't be changed.

As to tossing grenades out of turrets, usually it's a matter of lack of weapon slots, again the limit if 4, and in the rest of the cases why increase the cost of the unit by adding a weapon that might come into play one battle in a hundred?
