Considering it’s 120mm, and it’s smooth bore, it’s probably going to get DM23, so it’s probably more 10.7/11.0 material. Simply because you can sit hull down and are impervious to everything except bombs and missiles.
Just think of a Strv 121 that you can’t even hit firing rounds every 3-5 seconds.
I believe it’s visible in a photo; but you can genuinely sit in a ditch and fire off rounds constantly without being seen.
Ok yeah, gross under-estimation on my part.
Definitely top tier material.
Functionally unkillable when hiding behind a hill, unless killed by CAS, while reloading every 4 seconds (if Gaijin autoloader speeds are anything to go off of) is definitely going to be up top.
Btw, did it have a Stabilizer and/or a LRF? Currently assuming yes, but ya never know.
I’m sure it had a LRF, can’t speak on the stabilizer though, it does certainly have some system, as you can see during firing the gun is staying level.
Hmmm, ok, enlightening, but we do know the technology for the autoloader exists, so I say we do some things and say the autoloader existed but wasn’t mounted, but didn’t have a LRF or Stabilizer, and make it 10.X ;)
wish list: AN/TQW1 avenger, m113a1 (tow) for USA, M1167 HMMWV TOW, Fv101 scorpion 76 and 90mm, M113A1 MRV (Australian m113 with scorpion 76mm turret), Alvis Saladin armored car, Ferret MK5 with Swingfire ATGM, M113 ACAV with 106mm recoilless rifle, m151a2 with tow launcher (no particular reason to add most of these just stuff i think is neat)
With the introduction of the T77E1 featuring a closed top and two extra 50. cals over the M16, I’m not sure US mains would be up for another M2HB quadmount; the aforementioned M16 MGMC already does its job well enough even without an armored turret.
I didn’t know about the M47 based SPGs, shame they were never constructed.
I also recall PikPikker’s old Spanish tree suggestion including some early Spanish artillery vehicles utilizing German howitzers and 88mm guns, something I haven’t heard anything else about since.
