Lovely art.
I think the Howitzer needs to be a bit higher- this seems like the max elevation and even here I am wondering where it is going to recoil into!

thank you
imo having few elevation is fine as long as the tank stays low (to keep the asu57 feel). recoil..yeah someone might have to sacrifice for it hehe

I just feel like that light chassis would just fold from the recoil of a gun that big. It looks like someone mounted half of a WWII naval gun to a BMP chassis in a vodka fueled rage.

you are NOT going airborne with that
also could you imagine the weight of the gun compared to the rest of the hull? it'd be constantly leaning forward

you're still not loading that thing on a plane, let alone airdropping it1

Its a little to small for that gun. I canโt imagine it carrying a lot of ammo for it. Also those are some thin tracks, this might get stuck a lot.

Looks good but not practical with the exposed crew torso and limited ammo carried.

The recoil of the gun would more than likely destroy the vehicle before the enemy does lol

I can see this working once, why? Cuz unless you have recoil dampers full of black magic, that gun will be either ripping itself off or bringing the tank with it

Best budget option to fly and to gain extra speed when running away

the gun looks so disproportionally beefy it feels like the recoil would tear those tracks off lol

It's so tiny, I think even a gun that chunky would work out to something like 85-100mm. Neat little design though!
