Tell me, /k/ why haven't tanks advance in terms of rapid

Where you gonna put all them ammos?

Ask the Russians in hind sight about having auto loading turrets.

politics.

You can't directly scale up the mechanism of a 20mm or 30mm autocannon to the size of a tank's main gun. The pressure involved in firing a 120mm cannon is enormous and requires a more heavily built chamber to safely contain it.

The best you can get is an auto loading mechanism (which the Russians have used for decades), but that's never going to approach the rate of fire of something like your pic, OP.

Nor is it much, if at all better than a trained loader

So, What your saying is that a new gun would need to be design but overall would perform the same function as a chain gun.

the shells have been getting larger and larger to counter increased armor. Also more mechanisms take more space, which means larger vehicle and thus more weight in armor to protect. Basically it's too damn big. SAWC dude

You could put an oto melara 76mm in a MBT. Not sure if it would be worthwhile, while it wouldn't penetrate a modern MBT I can't imagine it would be very functional after 8 76mm round hit it. For lighter vehicles and infantry it would be a nightmare.

Well, well, well, do you have autism ?

>Tell me, /k/ why haven't tanks advance in terms of rapid fire cannons since ww2? After all the US tanks are still hand loaded and not a chain gun firing massive tank shells at troops and enemy tanks faraway.

You are too stupid to use a search engine. Why should anyone tell your lazy ass anything? You don't deserve to know what you are too lazy to look for. /k/ isn't /spoonfeed the tard/

More like you'd never get the rate of fire of a chaingun and the damn thing would jam on you every dozen shots.

This is one of those square-cube law things again isn't it? God damn that concept pops up everywhere, dinosaurs, truck axles, it's like the two dollar hooker of physics!
