The first prototype a30 never even had a turret or gun, both were wooden mock-ups on the displayed vehicle. interestingly the fact they couldn’t reduce the weight of the cromwell chassis lead to an entire new basket of eggs
Friend got the screenshots from the tog book i need, just outlining what i have already said
also see above
The ammo in the Turret basket is based on the armoured one that was never fitted AFAIK
My friend @super_cacti has been looking into it, and as my assumption was turns out to be true regarding the 3 inch howitzer, in that it physically couldn’t fit in the hull due to the increased size of the turret basket, the smaller turret had a 54 inch turret ring diameter to the 70 or so present on the tog, so the moment they went with the larger turret the plan was for twin besa in the hull as it was the only thing that would fit.
Whatever they modeled seems to have come and gone pretty quickly from the game. Another must have consigned to the dustbin.
i still see them, but ironically all have turned of the fictitiously named great war pattern, as it literally makes you easier to kill with no real advantage, as the smoke shell rack gives you a huge frontal ammo rack, and the sponsons mean you cant angle.
