IMO the manoeuvre tactic you mention is NOT represented by playing with AF "on" where is assumed that all tanks have welded turrets and all vehicles in a platoon in a 250 x250 metre area face the same direction. Rather it is better represented in the abstract way of a dice roll and an overall defesive value when played with AF "off".
Well, tank crews relied on their frontal armour quite a lot (especially Tigers crews). I've read many times memories of tank (Tiger) commander that didn't hesitated much to expose his front armour because he knew his advantage to gain better shoot position.
And your right it's hard to speak about realism and maneuverers of single tank in that scale and not all vehicles in a platoon face the same direction ... but I think most of them do and it should be easier for example 65 to 75% easier to inflict losses (by guessing that at least 2/3 of platoon faces in advance direction).
For sure retreating platoon exposing their rear is a serious bug.
