Wait. The rules of the duel were that both the turret and the tank body had to be facing the opponent before they were allowed to fire. How is this a win when they didn't fully rotate their tank?

Mistranslation, sorry. They only said that the rotating of the tank and the turret is allowed to aim and fire at the the opponent.

So it just meant that they weren't allowed to start turning until after they reached the line? That makes sense, then.

Umm, this is considered cheating, due in fact in reality.

Panzer III/IV don't have neutral steering (pivot turns) and they have only synchromesh gear.
