This 183mm cannon adorned two tanks in its lifetime. The prototype FV4005 stage I and II Tank Destroyers. The cannon was built to destroy Soviet tanks at long range, but was quickly superseded by development of similarly powerful and much more practical ATGM's.

This is more unique compared to my other cannons, as it comes in two pieces. The barrel is separate from the breech and so can be placed separately too. This is to allow for more creative building without the large 3x3x8 breech getting in the way of mantlets and turret face designs by taking up that space. Another benefit is that if your cannon is shot at your barrel may be destroyed but leaving the gun assembly intact for further repair.

Take note; the breech is there to pass shells to the gun, it does not have cargo space on its own.

714m/s projectile velocity and a reload of 30 seconds. Max range of 5000m (Server sync range may interfere)

This does not straight up vapourise targets, but is instead built to reward good aim. If you hit a tank in the suspension above the wheels, on the roof, sides or turret ring it almost guarantees its complete destruction.
Please be mindful of the extreme recoil, I recommend using landing gears or wheels to help dampen the force.

Big thanks to Whiplash141 for making the penetration framework! Without his work, none of these mods would have been possible. I'd also like to extend my thanks to Klime, he provided the scripts necessary to get the multi-part feature working.

Its great except for the 15m barrel length which is 3x longer than the estimated 4.5m barrel length of the real gun

no actual offense but is there a reason that these guns dont do a lot of "damage" as in theres no HE shells or any big explosion radius. its just 1-3 block damage which doesnt really do anything. is there some way I could make it more "explodey"? thanks

@HEXON_UNBOUND I expect that if they use the same conveyor system as vanilla, they can.

can you pass shells from the breech, through an 1x1x1 advanced rotor(mod), to the cannon?

It will devastate light armour. The multi-gun thing can be worked around in the script but I'm not too bothered about it, as for tanks at least it's hard to get more then one breech in without being disproportionately large/heavy.
