#75mm gun

[theworldatwar]

The German PzKpfw IV Ausf F2 was a comparatively simple evolution from the Ausf F with thicker armour and more importantly a long barrel 75mm gun for enhanced anti tank capabilities. This particular tank is somewhat unusual in having a single rather than double baffle muzzle break

The Paris Gun

The Krupp arms-making dynasty was founded in Essen upon the fortune amassed by Arndt Krupp, who settled in that city in 1587. His son Anton expanded the family’s endeavors into making firearms during the Thirty Years’ War of 1618-1648, and the family progressively expanded its operations over the ensuing decades. In 1811, Friedrich Krupp (1787-1826) established a steel casting facility, and, although he successfully began casting steel in 1816, he expended considerable funds in the process. His son, Alfried (1812- 1887), continued his father’s work and eventually re-established the family fortune. By its nature steel was very difficult to cast, and internal faults were often impossible to detect through existing testing procedures. Defective cast steel pieces were also much more dangerous to crews than iron cannons, as the softer iron tended to split or burst with less energy than the harder steel, which more often ruptured with deadly violence. The Krupp firm’s success in casting steel was considered one of the major metallurgical achievements of its day.

Beginning in 1844, Alfried Krupp began experimenting in machining guns from solid cast steel blanks and in 1847 produced his first steel cannon. That same year he presented a steel gun to the King of Prussia, Frederick Wilhelm IV (1795-1861)-an act of entrepreneurial generosity that later won an order for 300 field guns. He went on to display a 6-pounder muzzleloading gun at the Great Exhibition of 1851 and began experiments in developing breechloading weapons. In 1856, Krupp introduced a 90mm field gun fitted with a transverse sliding breechblock that fit through a corresponding slot in the rear of the barrel.

Germany subsequently made the transition to rifled breechloaders during the 1860s, a move that gave it a distinct artillery advantage during the 1870-1871 Franco-Prussian War. Shortly after the war it adopted 78.5mm guns for its horse artillery and 88mm pieces for field use. The logistical difficulties associated with supplying two sizes of ammunition in the field and recent advances in metallurgy and gun design then led to the Model 73/88 system, which used the 88mm caliber for both horse artillery and field use and the later Model 73/91 system, utilizing nickel steel barrels. The Model 73/91 was finally superseded by Germany’s answer to the French 75-the Model 96 or Feldkanone 96 neur Art.

The development of specialized antiaircraft artillery also intensified during the war. The first documented use of antiaircraft artillery occurred as early as the siege of Paris during the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. At Paris, the Prussian commander von Moltke ordered weapons from Krupp in order to shoot down balloons in which the French were trying to sail over the Prussian lines. Krupp eventually delivered a number of single-shot, caliber 1-inch rifles that were mounted on pedestals bolted to the beds of two-horse wagons; they theoretically could follow the balloons on the ground while maintaining a steady firing rate. The Krupp pieces were relatively ineffective, yet at least one French balloon was apparently downed by their fire.

The rapid proliferation of powered military aircraft at the turn of the century, however, spurred an equally dedicated effort to neutralize the threat of air attacks. During the 1909 Frankfurt International Exhibition, Krupp unveiled three antiaircraft guns in a bid to monopolize the emerging market. These included a caliber 65mm 9-pounder and a 75mm 12-pounder. Krupp claimed that the largest, a pedestal-mounted 105mm gun intended for shipboard use, achieved a maximum ceiling of 37,730 feet. The caliber 65mm gun had an 18,700-foot range, could elevate 75 degrees, and its carriage had unique hinged axles that allowed the wheels to be pivoted to a position perpendicular to their traveling position. With the trail spade acting as its axis, this arrangement enabled the crew to traverse the piece 360 degrees to track enemy aircraft. With a claimed maximum ceiling of 21,326 feet, the caliber 75mm gun was mounted on a truck bed, thus giving it a high degree of mobility. Not to be outdone, Erhardt, Krupp’s closest domestic competitor, also exhibited a 50mm quick-firing antiaircraft gun mounted in an armored car’s turret.

The period also witnessed considerable experimentation in antiaircraft shells and fuses. Krupp introduced a high-explosive shell for its 3-pounder equipped with a “smoke-trail” fuse, an early tracer round that both aided the crews in sighting and was an effective incendiary against the hydrogen-filled airships of the period.

During World War I the Germans continued to experiment in antiaircraft weaponry, beginning in 1914 with the 77mm Ballonen-AK. The Ballonen-AK was then, in turn, followed in 1915 by the 77mm Luftkanone, a basic 77mm field cannon barrel mounted on a rotating scaffolding. The more effective Krupp 88mm FlaK entered service in 1918 and eventually became the inspiration for the famous World War II German “Eighty-Eight.”

Popularly named after Alfred Krupp’s daughter, the 41.3-ton, 420mm “Big Bertha” had a horizontal sliding block and fired a 1,719-pound shell up to 10,253 yards. Big Bertha required five tractors to transport its components, and it had to be assembled on site. In conjunction with a number of Austrian Skoda 305mm howitzers, the L/14 was first used with devastating effect against Liege in August 1914; it saw other action on both the Western and Eastern fronts. Owing to its relatively short range and vulnerability to Allied fire, Big Bertha was obsolete by 1917. Another heavy piece, the 211mm Mörser was adopted in 1916. It weighed 14,727 pounds and fired a 250-pound shell up to 12,139 yards.

Designed by Krupp engineers and adopted in 1918, the Paris Gun used the basic 380mm Max railroad gun barrel fitted with a barrel liner and lengthened 20 feet. The 210mm Paris Gun weighed 1,653,470 pounds and mounted a 2,550-inch barrel with a horizontal sliding block. It fired a 264-pound shell up to 82 miles. Crewed by naval personnel, the Paris Gun was so powerful that it fired its shells into the stratosphere, where the thinner atmosphere exerted less resistance, allowing such long ranges. The stress on the bore, however, wore the barrel significantly, and each succeeding projectile had to have progressively larger driving bands and heavier powder charges to compensate for the increasing windage. Although hugely inefficient in the final analysis, the Paris Gun’s greatest value lay in its use as a propaganda tool rather than an artillery piece. Source

MS-07B Gouf, a dedicated close quarters mobile suit for use on Earth. Larger, faster and better armoured in comparison to the Zaku but also much more expensive to produce. Despite its effectiveness, it only went through a short production run, as the more sophisticated MS-09B Dom was pushed into service.

As a close-quarters mobile suit, the Gouf has limited ranged weaponry in the form of 5 75mm guns built into the left hand. Otherwise it takes to the battlefield with a heat sword and shield, as well as a heat rod built into the right wrist. The heat rod is an extending cable capable of releasing electrical shocks to stun enemy mobile suits, or superheating to damage them.

Assault gun varient of the Strv m/39 (above)

Panservernkanonvogn m/39

US 90mm M3 tank gun that somehow traveled back in time

TD Varient of Previous

Pansretbil m/39

I didn't actually design this one lol

I just stuck a 20mm Anti tank rifle in there lol

Strisvogn m/39 Britisk

Based on weird hybrid of Cromwell and Matilda, made by the developer, so no I didn't actually make this one either lol.

Same 90mm gun as the TD above.

(I also renamed the light tank to the Strisvogn m/38, which is definitely not confusing in the slightest)

All the names are weird janky mashings of Norwegian, cause I'm kinda shit at Norwegian.

I don’t think I’ve ever asked, what game is this lmao

A hull down M4A4 FL-10 in service with the Egyptian National Army's 20th Palestinian Division in the Gaza Strip, 1967.

This tank is an M4A4 "Sherman" outfitted with a French FL-10 turret as used on the AMX-13. It featured a 12-round autoloader and high velocity 75mm gun. This conversion was done for Egypt in the 1950s, with their last use being during the Six Day War. After the war, they were largely replaced with Soviet tanks, such as the T-54, T-55, and T-62.

[swedebeast]

Okay, so, I found something

yeah, so, uh, for those with an interest in military technology or naval warfare, this will require a second glance. But the Swedish wording of this is "PROPOSAL FOR AIR CRAFT CARRIER CRUISER WITH 6 210MM GUNS"

So, uh, this seems to have been the pet project of one Harry Åbom who drafted this sketch in 1946 and it is not mentioned anywhere else in the Swedish navy command correspondence, except for this sketch in the war archives - seemingly it was a proposal that just never went anywhere because there was no benefit for the Swedish navy when it never went too far away from air field coverage, and if they ever wanted any carriers they could just buy them as surplus from the US or Great Britain.

Below I will present the translation (and added info for context)... and oh boy, strap yourselves in.

Guns 6: - 210 mm gun 3 barrel turret 8: - 120mm - - 2 barrel turret 30: 40mm - - two and one barrel tripod/gun pod Hull armour Above water belt: 70 and 70 mm (rear 40mm) Torpedo belt: 80 mm Flight deck and other hangar: 25mm Hangar deck: 25mm Torpedo deck: 75mm Sides and ends: 50mm PROPOSAL FOR AIR CRAFT CARRIER CRUISER With 6 210mm guns Keel length: 160m Keel width: 22m Underwater compartment: 6.1m Displacement: 12,000 tons Displacement standard: 11,500 tons Speed with 40,000 horsepower: 26 knots Air craft: 16.

An Allied Light Tank from Command & Conquer: Red Alert. This particular model is meant to represent an American lend-lease Sherman in British service, one from the early counterattacks before Allied industrial production stabilised on the European continent. It features an up-gunned 75mm cannon, FN Minimi coaxial MG and armoured skirts. These tanks would be outclassed by Soviet armour the entire war, but its high speed was essential to Allied hit-and-run tactics.

Only some light converting with this one. Also unfortunate lack of thought in hanging a rocket soldier's launcher on the back of the tank directly above the exhaust vents. It isn't much noticeable though.

Title: Perfect Strike Spot

Here it is, the moment you've been waiting for! The combination of all three main armored "Strike's" (Model: GAT-X105) Striker Packs (Aile ✈️, Sword 🗡️, and Launcher 🔫) into one heavy armor of weaponry machine, with a few adjustments/upgrades! 🤖😁 Not to mention, it serves as an inspiration to the lighted and improved version of this armor called the "Destiny" (Model: ZGMF-X42S)! This here is the armor "Perfect Strike"! ✈️🗡️🔫🤖😁

Perfect Strike Spot Based on: GAT-X105+AQM/E-YM1 Perfect Strike Gundam [CLICK ME!]

Armament(s):

• "Igelstellung" 75mm multi-barrel Anti-Air CIWS (optional armor piece) Mounted in the Perfect Strike's head are two "Igelstellung" 75mm multi-barrel CIWS guns. These light projectile weapons are mainly used for warning shots, intercepting missiles and to destroy lightly armored targets.

• "Armor Schneider" Combat Knife Stored in the Perfect Strike's side skirt armor are a pair of folding "Armor Schneider" combat knives. These knives do not need power from the suit, can be thrown, and their blades vibrate at high frequencies to pierce through most armor except PS armor.

• Beam Saber Stored in the modified Aile Striker is a pair of beam sabers. These are close range combat weapons that can slice through any armor that does not have an anti-beam coating.

🟦 For Sword 🗡️🤖 and Launcher 🔫🤖 Striker Packs' information, please click the link from the "Previous" section, down below. ↓ 🟩

Special Equipment/Feature(s):

• Battery Pack As the Multiple Assault Striker integrates the primary functions of the Aile, Sword and Launcher Striker Pack, it ended up with high energy consumption. To compensate for this, four additional battery packs are attached to its back. Each battery can be jettisoned after its energy is used up to avoid being dead weight.

• Phase Shift Armor The Launcher & Sword Striker Packs are equipped with phase shift armor. When activated the Launcher Strike's color is changed from a light grey to a white scheme with a bit of blue and red mixed in. Phase Shift armor, when activated, renders the Strike immune to physical attacks such as bullets, physical blade combats, or against missiles. However Phase Shift armor continually drains the battery of energy, shortening the mobile suit's combat endurance, and uses up additional energy when it is hit.

Most "combat shots" of PSC M4s are from the Italian Campaign. This well known photo of the "Belle of Little Rock" of the 755th Tank Battalion was taken in the Castelforte area on May 12, 1944 at the start of the Allied Offensive which culminated in the capture of Rome on June 4th. PSC is reported to have introduced the M34A1 Gun Mount into production at the end of March, and the “universal type” sand shields at the end of April, 1943. Sand shields were not popular with the troops and, as seen here, were mostly removed. Note the attachment strips used to hold the later types of sand shield. "Belle" can be seen with a welded lower hull. Pressed Steel "joined the pack" and, by our head count, completed the transition to this around May, 1943. Casting flaws were repaired by filling in with weld material. Belle's turret has about the most extensive repairs we have ever seen. The M4 behind Belle appears to be an earlier PSC with direct vision, and the Signal Corps photographer captured the moment that the projectile left its 75mm gun.
