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.

With the main gun?
And they weren't moving(the tanks), were they?

Yes, with the main gun. The tank would stop to fire, of course. There is also one case reported of an artillery crew shooting down a fighter.

...which just proves these instances were outlying cases and not the norm.
