No they wouldn't, this isn't Warhammer or Battletech, where more guns is better. The fact that all MBT designs approved for production since the start of WWII had a single main gun, shows the poor utility of multiple main guns, not to mention that inability to aim your gun independently of hull facing is a big tactical disadvantage.
Unfortunatelly,you are right.Pity.I would love to see battlefield full of T.35 or KW6 on both sides.But,like you said, life is no game.
relying on not retreating is a horrible thing. One should always plan for it, even if you know it won't happen. Unless there is literally no retreat.
It had - but ROF was still slover 2-3 times then german 88 or soviet 100mm.Which means, that it worked as if soviet had 2-3 times less tanks then germans.
Keep in mind that IS-2 was intended as a line breakthrough vehicle, so in the first place it needed good HE round to deal with strogpoints and anti tank gun positions, anti armor capabilities were of secondary concern. It also had strong enough armor to withstand the hits from anti tank guns. But yes, their shortcomings cost them dearly on multiple occasions. It was one of the reasons behind development of the autoloader, when they moved up from 115 mm to 125 mm gun.
Tanks even now awadays are used as unfantry support as well as anti armor. If a tanks mission is to be a breakthrough HE is its main. If it is a tank killer APCR and simair are its choice and are generally high velocity
Lack of cute armored vehicles on this page. I am disappointed.
And a story time!
And America is still one of the few countries left not to use a auto loader. Apperently from en ex ranker who is now MI told me, human loading is like a second faster
Until is tired. Unlike humans, auto-loaders can maintain the rate of fire until the ammo stock is exhausted. Granted, very few cases where that maybe occurs, but till a capability. Alos, auto-loaders let you make a smaller tank.
If you need to fire so many rounds your ladder gets exhausted you are most likely in a situation where you are alone. Surrounded. And on a last stand. Tanks usually work in groups.
We will have a war where the Abrams without an Autoloader goes against a tank with one. It really only matters if both miss the first shot this day and age.
