For infantry it's fine that it's free. A squad in combat tries to watch many directions and it has many men.
I don't like that feature for turretless vehicles (eg. StuH and StuG). Currently they don't suffer enough penalty comparing to tanks with turret.

Sometimes let a facing enemy element get first shot if your barrel is facing too far away (90 degrees+?) Something to think about for this autumn's code work.

I like your ideas. I think the penalty should be biggest for turretless vehicles and minimal for infantry.
