This post provides the statistics for the tank guns I am using or expect to use in the course of setting up the ground vehicles of the First World War and Interwar period. People who are savvy about those times might identify some of the lesser-known tanks I'll be doing from the guns I've selected. As always, the information provided is based on the information I have available, and I welcome any additional information that might help me further refine my work.
As tanks were developed, it wasn't clear exactly what sort of role they would play on the battlefield. They were originally looked at as a means to demolish fortifications, rather than fighting other tanks, so guns focused on HE performance and low recoil, being mostly short-barreled.
One round not covered in Fire, Fusion & Steel is case shot. This is identical to a flechette round with the exception that the burst radius starts at the barrel of the cannon rather than opening downrange.
Almost all of the machineguns used on these tanks have already been done by Paul Mulcahy, to whom I owe a debt of gratitude for inspiring me to do this work. In the rare cases where modifications need to be made, I'll spell them out.
