That’s fair I suppose. A weird abbreviation of “millimeters” for sure, especially when the accompanying data sheet uses “mm”, but I guess it’s not incorrect?

Gaijin could add a funny ammo box bolted to the side like the chi ha LG plus the placement of a ammo box. Or a ammo trailer you pull a long though trailers and tracked vehicles don’t mix very well it’s not too uncommon for people to strap a cargo trailer to them.
Would be a low tier tank hunter.

Not sure I’m completely on board with the idea of adding fictional ammo boxes, because that adds in a mystery variable that Gaijin can screw with in terms of ammo capacity, box location, box armor, etc.
As for a trailer, like I mentioned above in this thread, I don’t think any were available for these sorts of vehicles as they were intended to be mobile field guns in the most literal sense, not actual combat vehicles.
So to be honest, as much as I want some of these minimalist heavy SPGs like those built in interwar American and the Semovente da 149/40 for Italy, I just don’t think I’m willing to manufacture fictional parts in order to see those vehicles playable. Especially with America, there are many alternatives.

Gaijin has already done the we bolted a box to the hood your welcome thing so 90% I would guess we would get a 10 round mystery box and a ammo crate buildable.
Also France built a lot of SPGs during and soon after WW1 that would have a similar issue plus some are a EV with no onboard generator

Sure, I just prefer to keep it a bit more historical when possible you know? Ammo boxes are a minor thing, I know, but I would just prefer to see the vehicles with built-in ammo racks implemented first.
That being said, I do admit I also support a lot of improvised truck SPG and such that may not come with ammo boxes, so I am OKAY with Gaijin adding them if no better options are available.

I agree but ya that is how the snail rolls and likely how they will roll. I have a feeling Gaijin’s employees are model builders and in the the model builder community among kit bashers which is if something is possible and you can weld it there is a 90% chance it could happen or did happen you just never saw it or photographed it.
Bolting extra ammo is scarily a thing that happened a lot with the usual negative health impacts of when that ammo goes off because your a driving ammo dump. UK was known for this post Normandy. So talking about the Motor Carriage I would not be shocked even in 1920 they stacked some extra ammo on it as a overload test soldiers love to overload there vehicles.
