If so, the tank is going to need to maneuver in a very different fashion from how it did in PS1. Any mag pilot will tell you: that front gun was almost impossible to aim because of the momentum of the tank during pivoting.
I don't see how this gun will be remotely viable unless all momentum on tank rotation is removed. Then there's a secondary effect (which could be awesome): it would make the magrider insanely agile with precision steering.

Essentially, the Magrider is a floating turret. If the floaty response of turning is tighter, it's just as effective. If that is not good enough, they could give it a little play, like a 15 degree arc that the gun can move side to side on rapidly while the rest of the tank responds to any leaning in that direction.
Either way, nothing says that all three empires have to work the same. Variety - balance.
