            Correct because BAE's bid for MPF, the specific vehicle in OP's picture, lost the selection.

    Because they gave up on the C-130 transportability requirement.

    personally i think they should have chosen a smaller gun that could be dual use for ShoRAD.

      You have to wonder how small is too small for infantry support and anti structure work.
      the US navy for example uses 57mm for light anti-ship and air defense duties
      It would have been nice to have commonality for barrels and ammunition, this is afaik what the French are doing for their 40mm.

        The more accurate the munitions the less power it needs. For example, for a 2150 super futuristic anti-personnel weapon you are probably fine with 3mm or smaller. Just have autonomous targeting on a drone good enough to always aim for the head the blast it with a coil gun at Mach 7 to get through any armor. Plenty of vehicles can be disabled by doming the driver too.

        That's how BONUS is able to destroy multiple armored vehicles with one 155mm shell. It deploys submissions that then target it from above and hit it with a well aimed EFP.

        You can get away with very light, small weapons systems if you can get extremely accurate targeting. Autonomous spotter drones and autonomous artillery we see today, both feeding data into course correcting smart shells are the first step to this

              RDF/LT was neither a SPAAG, usable for SHORAD or had a rate of fire comparable to that Italian naval gun.

            76x636mmR naval gun is not small

            Shell casing is actually longer than 105mm

            The 76mm naval guns are not the 75/76mm that we used on Shermans in ww2

    One issue the Chieftain mentioned is that it is difficult for the driver to get in/out of the hatch because it's on the slope.
    I also do wonder how you restock the autoloader. The ammunition hatches you see in your pic are the secondary storage however the only way to access them seems to be by opening up the front armor whilst most tanks can restock the autoloader/ready rack with the crew under armor.

        Yeah, thats the thing with the M8. Both the hull ammunition and turret ammunition are in their own blowout panels, but IIRC there isn't a way for the crew to restock the ammunition in the autoloader turret from inside. It has to be done from the outside

          >why even bother with that design ?
          Because infantry likes direct fire support from a big frickoff gun, but tanks are a bit much to haul off to all the places you might wanna fight.

          >should gone with french route and just put artillery on a truck
          This isn't artillery, it isn't supposed to hang back like that. Direct fire support you know? It's supposed to be up there with the door kickers, where a truck has a life expectancy of frick all.
