Most tanks of this era did not have roof machine guns - it was something of an innovation when they were installed. The Coaxial machinegun has the same limitations as the main gun (lack of automatic traverse & elevation, narrow sight) and is just as poor for shooting at aircraft (although with shorter range and higher rate of fire).
That said, tanks were indeed ordered to shoot at aircraft during the war and there are a indeed a couple of cases where they scored hits.
