I belive that the Chuch’e p’o also would be a great addition for a future implementation of (literal) glass cannons, a revival to the Chi-Ha mounted with an Type 10 120 mm naval gun but in a larger caliber, I can’t imagine how much high explosive filler in TNT can a 170 mm shoot.
Yet, Russia is considered a operator of this machine, I think the best implementation for such monstrous creature is for a future sub-tech tree for North Korea.
This isn’t relevant to the discussion. The point is, can the cannon fire this ammunition? According to the source, yes, and that should be enough. But did he really shoot her? If the source claims he can, it’s probably because he did.
The big problem with the Begleit is that if it receives APFSDS and goes up to range, its I-TOW will be completely useless. It’s a vehicle with different types of weapons, so balancing is more difficult.
I mean, even if receive APFSDS, the shell should maintain current penetration levels, so that your BR does not increase to levels where I-TOW will be useless.
