honestly i believe some of the specs DCS follows are from 80s where the loader did not have a weapon. a loader weapon came about later for a tactical reason. i was an M60 and M1 crewman in this period, neither had a loader weapon. maybe because that's how it was in the 80s? just speculation.

The coaxials are there, either on the 2nd feed slot, or as a selectable feed in the main gun.

 

The swivels on top are visibly not (not for those MBTs), so they just don't have them.
