Clearance can be an issue, and here are a few ways to deal with it.
1. jump to the AUX or GAS gunners aux sight and since it is in line with the gun and does not move will show if it is clear. That is the only real way on the tank without a driver to tell you.
2. Have Commander in TC hatch not F8 view, which will give a better idea of where the tank is actually at but not precise.
3. Once the GPS sight is clear have the commander move a little farther up depending on the terrain.
4. TC experience and observation over time, and by not being stuck to the CITV commanders sight.
Other than that there maybe ways that I am not aware of, especially from a game standpoint from the more seasoned players.
This reminds me of a exercise I was part of with 4 bradleys against my one tank. The had dismounted infantry, and were converging around a hill we were using for engagements from all sides. I was gunning, and we moved from berm or crest to berm or crest taking them out. What I did to make sure accurate shots, was to use the GPS to find the bradleys, and then when the moment was right, I would tell the gunner to move up on the crest, while looking out the GAS sight. The ranges were all under 1000 meters so I just used the GAS sight, and during the day. As soon as the GAS sight cleared I told the driver to stop right after I pulled the trigger as we told and through experience to not throw the lead and other things off as the driver hits the brakes. The driver would stop and I would confirm the kill after kill like this moving from one berm to the next. It is easy to see a bradley with its antenna slowly coming over a berm, and then the turret. Takes time for the TOW, and its a one shot kill to the turret. We ended by coming face to face with the last bradley at less than 50 meters. I should not have fired due to safety reasons with the Hoffman device (which is a stack of simulators about a quarter stick of tnt mounted above the gun to simulate a round being fired), but his light bulb was flashing to simulate the 25mm being fired, so I fired back. I won!!! LOL. It was a lot of intense fun, and great experience using the tank in that manner, and having it work as intended.
