Ok I have an idea for the weapon cycling! Here's the idea.
Primary(not primary just the actual weapons):
Heat
Sabot
Coax
Missle(if it has it)
Secondary(just smoke):
Smoke

I remember seeing on discovery the marine tank school, I dont think you can shoot the main gun while using the MG, if someone who knows a bit more can enlighten us it would be appreciated. I just figure it could help with the smoke, but also with teh IFVs allowing for AP and HE rds to be added, sort of a compromise to the want of two selection menus and also fast smoke

In most U.S. tanks (at least Abrams and Bradley) the gunner has a switch to select between coax and main armament, and indeed never fires both weapons simultaneously. However, there are tanks that have separate triggers for main and coax.

Well I think this would be a good idea, main fire is the weapons, secondary fire is smoke, so if need be you can smoke the area and fire xaoc at the same time

I think it'd make more sense if right click was zoom (after all, the TOWs, helos and even snipers zoom in with right click ;)) and smoke was where it originally was in BF2. That way newcomers would use it instinctively.
