This is posted as having been fixed in the new version 2.0 rules. Have you downloaded the new version 2.0?

It is fixed in v.2, however it might need some fine tuning. I did a test where I popped out the crew from a stationary tank with full moves. The crew was only able to move only one hex that turn, enough to go away from a tank though. Next turn that crew had about the same movement allocation than normal infantry.

Can I shoot abandoned tanks? As there are situations where tank crew is fleeing and u
have only one chance to destroy the tank(u have one unit to do that and you know that
enemy is nearby and your unit is doomed, its
immobilized in adjacent hex to enemy abandoned tank). Now crew comes back and
tank is operational once more just because
you coulnd fire that tank!

The tank crew when abandoning their tank need a few moments to get oriented and their act together. That is why one turn is dedicated to that.
