Bang On, Always! (1952)
British Pathé
View From The Porch got me started. Seems our tanks had gun stabilization systems from the late 1930s. They worked at speeds up to 10 MPH. The Sherman tank had a top speed of 30 MPH, so not totally effective, but better than nothing, which is what the Germans had. Modern tanks can shoot and run at higher speeds. I suspect the big difference is a more powerful gun elevation motor and the sensor reaction time.
German engineering at its finest

There are other videos demonstrating the same behavior in cats and falcons, though they can't turn their heads quite as far.
