The Germans proposed a 150mm field piece main gun for the 207T mouse supertank. See link
The Russians fielded a smoothbore 152mm armed light tank. During WW2 the Russians mounted a 155mm field piece on the 57T KV heavy tank. The Russian T-10 mounted a 152mm howitzer. The T-95 is currently mated to a 135mm smoothbore main gun designed around guided munitions, but it probably has a less powerful kick than the 125mm gun of the T-80.
The Americans fielded a smoothbore 155mm armed light tank. But the most powerful weapon mounted on a tank so far has been the 120mm Rheinmetal. The same company is working on a 140mm version of a tank gun for both the U.S. M-1 and German Leopard 2.
The biggest gun mounted on a railcar was this: link The German gun had an operational career of 13 days, during which it fired 48 shells in battle. It was just too big to move quickly to the effective. It took 25 trainloads of equipment, 2000 men and up to six weeks to assemble the massive killing machine. |
