Seems realistic enough to me, the TC says "Load HE" and they have to open the breech, remove the AP round, store it, take the HE round, and load it.

Not that CoH2's Shermans have TC at all, hell if you buy the M2 on top there's only one man in the turret

Just tested a Hull Down a little using cheatcommands mod.

You can't use Hull Down on a light vehicle, which is a damn shame. So no hull-down for 222s, 251s, or Panzerwerfers for reduced reload.

Panthers with Hull Down lost to an IS2 3 out of 3 times, both at ~30 range. That doesn't include circling, or simply closing the gap on the immobile panther to increase penetration, and conversely doesn't include the fact that the panther has 60+ range in hull down. Naturally, armor battles are very RNG dependant, so take this one with a grain of salt.

Hull Down takes 16 seconds, which is fairly long. This would be acceptable if you could have multiple units carry it out to make it faster, but only one unit at a time can conduct Hull Down.

You can't Hull Down your ally's tank. So no King Tigers or OKW Panthers.

Hull Down Tiger Ace or vet 3 Stug have a pretty hilarious rate of fire. But you can't hull down your ally as mentioned nor would you want to fix down a turretless vehicle.

In conclusion: I don't think it's a very good ability.
