France Tests Huge 140mm Tank Gun As It Pushes Ahead With Germany On A New Tank Design

This tank with large caliber aimed at being between a tank and howitzer. I don't suppose the reason for larger caliber is to be able to destroy or penetrate tanks armour which you already could do with 120mm.

Howitzer of artillery and smooth bore cannon of tank are different.

The 140mm obviously need an autoloader. But the autoloader itself has to be manually restocked.

Sure, but I'm certain the engineers and crew figure how to do that.

More for penetration and range.
