Since armoured cars usually attack targets in front of them, it would be impossible to fire a gun and CMG, then to turn back to enemy and fire rear MG in the same move (unless the car wanted to withdraw). Rear MGs were in reality useful only in peculiar and probably rare conditions, so IMO it's more accurate to never use rear MGs, than to use them all the time.
BTW: it's the same for T-35, which could not fire from both 45mm guns at the same target without turning a tank, but it's another story.

Don and Andy may not know that they belong to the SPWAW staff now. Besides, I thought that game ceased development years ago
(on a related note: I can't believe Matrix still charges €53.99 + VAT for the
Download General's Edition; the game is 13 years old and has not been upgraded in any way since 2005!)
I tend to agree with you that the rear guns should be removed, but that would require modifying many other units as well beised the AB 41, so there should be an "official" decision from the SPWW2 (
) staff to do so, and then it should be done for all the OOBs in the same update, if possible. Since it would not affect the actual gameplay much and having the rear guns probably does not give those vehicles too much unfair advantage, I don't know how high priority such a project would get. But yes, it's up to the staff.
