Shame on you !
Depending on the gun, it does have a limited movement to left right up down etc. On the assault, the theory is your supporting your troops by attacking pill boxes etc that are obstacles to their advance.
On the defence you are basically a mobile pill-box, or AT gun.
To be honest as far as I know only the US Shermans had stabilisers for their guns and most other tanks were stationery when engaging other Tanks in ww2 if they wanted any chance of a successful hit.
most other tanks were stationery
Aha! The famous paper Tiger?

As seen from this webpage

the “top carriage” traverse was 10 deg L/R (about 180 mils), elevation from -3 to + 20 deg (- 55 to + 360 mils).
The above conversion assumes you are using the UK mils system where there are 6,400 in a circle. IIRC the Russians use 6,000. Actually there should really be 6,284 but who’s counting . . . .
Fine adjustment was by manual traverse (for example when used in an overwatch role) and gross adjustment by neutral turns with the tracks.
This site has some interesting infomation on the deployment and specifications of the ISU 122 and 152 assault guns.
