The Soviets toyed with it in designing the ST-II. Ultimately, it doesn't provide a whole lot of use in modern tank design. Given that you rarely need more than one round per target, the second gun is essentially dead weight unless you put it in an independent mount like another turret, and you can imagine the engineering nightmares that would cause.

The only time having multiple guns was useful was when said guns were shit and you had a hull-mounted howitzer for infantry support and a high-velocity gun in the turret for anti-armor. But that was pretty much obsolete by early WWII, when guns like the American 76mm M1 and German 7.5cm Kwk 40 started showing up.

Speaking of the scorpion in the background, when they say the only part of the scorpion that's armored is the gun-shield, they really meant it. The front is literally no thicker than a car's body, so knocking on it gives you a hollow ring to it as opposed to the banging against a hard solid surface that even the M113 gives.

Because tank armor is not HP.

You can either penetrate the armor or you can't. If the first shell can't penetrate the armor, the second shell isn't likely to do so either. A single larger gun is always better than two smaller guns.

eye balling the vid, you could say teh M61A5 Main Battle Tank guns could fire once 4 seconds, botha t the same time or in any succession rate needed, what mean firing one 2 secs after the other, meaning one round every two seconds, or 30 rounds per minute, what is rather fucking good i'd say

How do you "debunk" the fact that two guns weighs more than one gun, and that tanks which have been made for one gun cannot carry two guns?

Even though the original show mostly showed Zakus smashing M61s and the earlier episodes of Igloo showed them stomping on them (which shouldn't have done anything considering that they're allegedly half the M61's weight), this was the exception rather than the rule and in most cases if the Zaku was caught on the ground it would end up like the vids and get machine-gunned to death by an advancing swarm of what are from its PoV self-propelled guns. In fact, the majority of Earth engagements were tank vs tank even after the Zaku was mass-produced but Gundam naturally doesn't show it because it's a mecha series and outside of Igloo would rather focus on gundam and weird shit like that one suit that was half gundam, half ball that fought things by biting them and was somehow only as heavy as a Renault FT or that one Dutch machine that was a windmill on legs. You get the feeling that the only reason they were made was to make a new toy model and the writers probably just rolled their eyes and went with it.

Decreased accuracy. Shooting one gun would cause the turret to turn a little and throw off accuracy for the second shot.

You just fire them simultaneously, mate. The whole point of adding a second gun is increasing your chance to hit, so you'd be firing both guns at the same target, at the same time.

I already know that putting two guns in one turret is stupid, but this is not the reason why it's stupid.

Why don't we put two barrels right next to each other on the same recoil system and make it so that if you miss the first time you barely have to change the angle to fire a new shot?

this would barely change anything because you would load the second round immediately beside the first
>>
>>34899720
no real benefit of having two identical guns
it's better to have 2 tanks than a 1 twice as big tank

there are some oddballs that have an autocannon against APCs/helis and a large bore cannon against fortifications and tanks, sometimes also firing ATGMs
most came to conclusion that it's better to just have extra ammo for main gun than having the extra 20 or 30mm
>>
>>34901921
Not a tank
>>
>>34901958
You would need to adapt the recoil mechanism to handle twice the force. Also loading two shells side by side isn't as easy as it sounds
>>
>>34900549
I've heard that rotating turrets with long guns tend not to work too well in dense forests, so they prefer fixed guns.
>>
>>34901958
Pointless. 90% of the time, if a shell penetrates, the tank is out, and there is no need for a second shot.
If the enemy tank wasn't hit, you can't fire immediately after because the smoke of the gun and the dust lifted off the grounds prevents the gunner from adjusting his aim, giving enough time for the gun to reload.
So, no technical advantage.

However, this weapon would be far heavier and bigger, which is a direct downgrade. This is why nobody ever bothered to have two identical guns on the same tank.

It's literally a twin cannon turret mounted on a tank. What else do you want?
>>
>>34902025
>twice the force
no you'd need to design it to need half the recoil because the rounds would not fire at the same time and the second barrel would add weight and reduce felt recoil
>>

Yes, but it does defeat the primary argument for two guns, double firing rate.

>The whole point of adding a second gun is increasing your chance to hit
You fucking baboon

You don't have twin tank guns because, if you fire them at the exact same time, they will just each follow the same trajectory and hit the same spot. If they penetrate, congratulations, but one shell would have the done the same work, because one penetrating hit is all that is needed. And if they don't penetrate, well, what the fuck did you think was going to happen? Firing two won't make it more likely to penetrate when they hit the same spot.

And if you fire them one after the other, well, after the first shot your sight is now obscured by smoke, the turret or whole tank has shifted and thrown the sight off, so you have to wait for the smoke to clear and to get back on target before you can fire the second gun. During this time your loader or autoloader could have loaded a second shell into the first gun, making the second gun pointless.

This is why twin tank guns are utterly worthless.

What about a single barrel that fires two projectiles. Much like a tandem round.
First is to detonate the reactive armor the second to actually destroy the target.
>>
>>34899720
Its better to make a drone t55. 64 and 72 that has a faster auto loader, a semi auto tank to be precise, than it is to make 2 barrels for 2 auto loaders for the same ivan or chad, or tyrone to shove shells into on 2 separate seats in the turret.
Those drones might follow a mother tank that is actually a moving fort capable of withstanding every anti tank weapon in existence today.
The future might not exist, but it comes and delivers.

It would probably be a little redundant, but I like the design of this tank
>>
>>34902664

It was designed when firing on move had only marginal accuracy. All axis stabilization and modern fire control computers became thing only in 70's.

If steering mechanism of tank is responsive enough it can aim the gun fast and accurately. Another benefit from fixed gun is simple and fast autoloader, on turreted designs with traditional gun mount and autoloader, reloading is possible only on limited elevation range, so gun has to centered before reload is possible.

>>
>>34908858
Don't feel bad, the M61 is in essence the Federation equivalent of the Zaku when it comes to cannon fodder. I know some guys will say GMs are meant to fill that role, but how many times do GMs actually die to something that isn't a named character? No, the GMs are clearly a step up in importance over both the M61 and Zaku II.

Because in almost all situations using the same weight to have a single bigger gun will outperform multiple smaller guns. 120mm is currently enough to defeat modern MBT armor, so fitting 2 60mm guns would be useless and fitting 2 120mm guns would require the tank to weigh a massive amount and be impractical to fuel/transport/build.

That actually makes it worse since unless you've got some preset convergence point only one of those shots is going to miss under ideal circumstances.

Rather than penetrating enemy armor and disabling their tank, you would liquify the crew.
Two 120mm HE rounds hitting the same target at the same time would be devastating to the interior and i'd be damned if the crew survived.

basically two tanks with 1 cannon each can do more than 1 tank with 2 cannon.

simple right?

Depends on what tank in what engagement.
Also, it's best to describe it not in shots survived but in probability to survive a shot.
Let's take an extreme example: M1A2SEPV3 vs Crusader mk 1.
The areas where the 2 pdr can penetrate the abrams are very small and statistically unlikely to be hit. As most hits would be stopped, the Abrams could be said to be 99% immune to the 2 pdr- a hit could kill, but is extremely unlikely to.
On the other hand, the crusader is extremely vulnerable to MPAT (sabot is overkill), unless it prematurely detonates or bounces off. So Crusader is 0.1% immune to MPAT.
That's just for the first round. Armor degrades, and as it does so the percentages change too. But not by all that much.
So the question should be "how many rounds can an Abrams survive with 80% confidence?" To which the answer is~ 22 assuming no dependence and the rectally extracted numbers above.

I feel like this is that era's equivalent of an IFV with ATGMs for anti-tank.

This was before stabilization became good. They did lots of exhaustive trials that showed the strv 103 had target acquisition completely on par with turreted tanks of the era. The benefits were a super low profile, ease of manufacture etc. Example: it has an absurd fire rate of 1 shot/3 seconds which can be kept up until the magazine runs out by holding the reload button and trigger down simultaneously.

The driver(s) had great control of the really good suspension, and that tech went into the CV90 later on.

After the strv 103 there were a whole of crazy experimental vehicles that never saw production but gave a lot of valuable data.

This one apparently had gun elevation, and suspension cranked up to 11 on a 0-10 scale of crazyness.

It was a designed as a stopgap, served as a stopgap, and was replaced quickly once the stopgap stopped being necessary.

It did its job.

>>34917777
Between two contempory tanks? If the round penetrates just one. Modern rounds have powerful after-armor effects. The first-hit probability is not worth the extra weight and size incurred by the extra gun. You can just have a second tank instead.

>and the lee sucked balls hard

It was arguably the best tank to serve in North Africa until the Sherman came around. In wide open spaces you rarely run the risk of being rapidly flanked, ie the limited traverse of the 75mm gun is rarely an issue. It fired a powerful AP round, as well as an HE round that was damn-near unmatched by any tank it fought alongside or faced. It's 37mm gun provided a decent close-in weapon to deal with softer targets such as trucks, and was fully stabilized.

God, I love feddie propaganda, put enough shots down range and even the zaku falls, just don't show the fifty dead tanks on fire.

also, it looks like those zekes on the hill are still using zero-g AMBAC when they aim, bringing that autocannon together above the head and lowering onto the target- that's a microgravity stabilisation maneuver, an MS tuned for land operation would just bring the cannon across and up onto the target

Because we can build a tank with one gun that fires twice as fast.

So why not make a 5 barrel 75mm Gatling cannon and put it on a tank? The shear amount of Dakka makes me smile.

You'll run out of ammo or targets before heat becomes a problem with 75mm.

What about a fully automatic low pressure 120mm mortar however? Especially with guided ammunition, that would essentially give you a rolling air strike dispenser.

it also has standoff range, most titans mount mid-range weapons and rely on void shields to tank the sporadic stand-off fire that can actually draw line of sight as the titan advances the line by itself, this is the niche the shadowsword fills, poking holes in void shields so it doesn't have to get close to kill a titan

theoretically an auto-loader could fire a 120mm round per second easily. you just have to buy them from kuka and not mess around with 40yo soviet tech.

It's different when you can put a laser rangefinder, thermal sights, and a computerized fire control system on a tank.
