While I didn't know about that particular tradition until the Girls Und Panzer manga (which was released before the anime), the manga version of the "kicking" tutorial actually mentions that kicking to command direction was something the Japanese did since their tanks were so small, and the commanders can usually reach the driver with their foot. On larger tanks though, I'd think you'd be better off using radios to command the driver.
