So back in Cold War the British 105mm L7 was arguably the best tank gun, but what about currently? Who has the best 120/1215mm tank gun as of now?

>1215mm
*125mm Sorry.
12 meter bore would be dope as fuck, despite being impossible to aim because it has to be fuckoff long to get any real velocity from it
just aim down the bore
thats 1.215 meter but point still stands
I always lmao when someone asks about anything best tank related, especially these days. It really doesn’t matter at all if you even mount a turret to a tank. It’s taken out by commercially available toys from Amazon. It doesn’t matter if he had a 250mm bore or no canon at all.
>I always lmao when someone asks about anything best tank related, especially these days. It really doesn’t matter at all if you even mount a turret to a tank. It’s taken out by a dog trained to run under the tank with explosives tied around it. It doesn’t matter if he had a 100mm bore or no canon at all.
>canon
This was the only part that actually managed to upset me
I prefer Sony to Canon anyway
>I always lmao when someone asks about anything best drone related, especially these days. It really doesn’t matter at all if you even mount a small bomb to a drone. It’s taken out by commercially available arduino jammers from Amazon. It doesn’t matter if he had a 2.50kgs payload or no payload at all.
Rheinmetall Rh-120
Wrong
The French tank mates an autoloader into their 120mm making it the best gun in NATO and it isn't vaporware like the German 130mm
>So back in Cold War
You mean "back in the beginning of the Cold War". The L7 was surpassed by the Rh-120 at the end of the 70's and was the best tank gun. It still is, btw.
The current best tank gun is the Royal Ordnance L30.
Other nations use dopey smoothbore guns that have horrific accuracy and struggle to reliable land hits on targets beyond 3km. However, the L30 is developed and an improvement over a gun famous for landing shots over 5km away, only possible due to its superior accuracy characteristics.
>switches to smoothbore 120 anyway
*yawn*
sorry lol you were saying?
>Our tank gun is so good, The British have switched to using it.
I imagine that sounded better in your head.
???
Not the guy you were talking to, but that absolutely says that the British gun was inferior.
>The cheapest, most plentiful gun is the best!
Yeah, like how T-72s are doing wonderfully in Ukraine right now.
>i-it’s just because it’s cheap!!!
A+ grade cope
Okay, we'll see Ukraine excel with their Leopard 1's then, right? Right??
...what, did you forget that it has an L7A3?
Yeah thats why even the cheap brits are scrambling to get a modern smooth one 120mm for their tanks
Rh-120, the L/55 variant, at least in terms of guns in service. Prototype guns included though, then it's between Rh-130 and Ascalon, both of which use fuckhuge ammo. I would've included XM291 were it not a decades old design, I don't think it's likely to be comparable to the current prototypes.
Rheinmeddl 130mm
The L in Rh-120 L/55 stands for "Loide"
LOIDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
what makes a gun "the best". Are the FCS considered to be a "gun package" or not?
The rheinmental one. There’s a reason everyone uses it. Those weird rifles tank cannons are seen as shit and that’s why no one uses them
>The rheinmental one. There’s a reason everyone uses it.
they cant use the russian patented one?
russians just finished new tank engine with new modular power allow tank to put out 800-1400 horses based on demand automatically.. Armata tank is back on the production lines. every tank gets electronic and puck drone defense system and drone launching ammunition..
>Who has the best 120/1215mm tank gun as of now?
Rheinmetall
anything else is cope
Even Americans use them under domestic licensed production
