Haha, as a Merkava Mk.4 TCI can tell you that Merky is so wide and heavy it’s small cannon barely moves it.

You say that, but I assume you didnt live the hellish torture that was when tanks had a lot of recoil when firing back when the French got added…

Literally firing light tanks/AML would mean you no longer saw your target or where the round landed because of the kick xD

Simply, players really hated it and it wasnt helpful for gameplay. IRL these vehicles allowed the gunner (or more accurately the commander for a lot of times) to watch for ranging the round which we dont have in game.

A bit more recoil for MBTs maybe, though I really dont want to return to those old days where firing your AML meant the entire thing bouncing upwards.

yeah not for all tanks of course but atm the tanks have literally no recoil modern mbt anyway and even older one like is2 dont have alot esp for literally using naval ammunition
