"Marcello do you use the dug in tank turrents and if you do how good are they?"

It depends about what we are speaking about both in real life and in game terms.
Normal tanks dug in in the earth for a prepared defense?
Older tanks stripped of their engines, dug in concrete lined revetments and used as bunkers?
Tank turrets mounted on purpose built bunkers?
What are you referring to here?

In game terms "entrenched tank" or "bunker"?

They kinda suck anyway. Unless you buy lots of them, there is no good reason to buy them instead of say, tanks.

Added some in a couple of OOBs, more to reflect actual usage than usefulness. Some countries tend to dig in their old tanks a lot to create defensive lines, but I agree with Marcello that they tend to suck a lot in modern warfare.
Think about Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, these countries still use a lot of heavy fortifications like, as I said, stripped-down tank guns placed in concrete or stone structures with large storage and living quarters.

"stripped-down tank guns placed in concrete or stone structures"

Generally speaking when tank guns from older tanks are used the turret is retained.
The last swiss fortifications of this type consisted of surplus Centurion turrets placed inside a casemate to give them overhead cover. As I said bunkers armed with large caliber direct fire guns (like the various SPMBT gun bunkers), either fixed or field, seem to be rare in reality.
There are some dedicated fortress guns for indirect fire (like the swiss Bison)and shelters for protection against CB fire (like in North Korea).

so if I use them only use a couple to mimic real life, okay thanks
