Issue Description:

The LAV-25 as added in game does not possess its 2-axis turret stabilization (azimuth and elevation). I don't understand why this wasn't caught since it is otherwise a very good representation of the vehicle. There is extensive documentation of the very first variants of this vehicle possessing a stabilizer in both U.S. Service and Canadian service.

Incase you do not believe me, I will provide a Primary source for the vehicle in Canadian service (Coyote reconnaissance vehicle) as well as what could debatably be considered a primary source in the form of R.P Hunnicutt's book on the subject of American armored vehicles (the devs that worked on the LAV should know who he is).

Just get inside a LAV with a gunner as well as driver and start driving. The turret does not move and there is no option to turn on a stabilizer anywhere in the vehicle from what I can find,
