Also, Idea to design several weapons that have similar role is an overkill
Transport ships, lorries, jeeps, APCs, transport planes, airships in one turn?
Come on, choose one thing
Yep, I voted on 9 design related projects (probably too much) but at least, they cover different fields. Some of them are I have to offer alternative to other's things because they'll be voted anyway
And I have like 10 ideas I want ( 80mm AA guns, Cruiser refit, better 160mm guns for coastal batteries, 80mm mortars, better 14mm rifle, 120mm howitzers, unguided rockets, helicopter experiments, jet expeiments and several more ) leaving only the ones I see as urgent (all my suggestions are air superiority or anti-submarine related)
the quad 40mm AA cannon?
I never said that it is impossible, world have seen weirder prototypes. Quad 40mm turrets were (and are) quite common in navy but armored vehicle with the turret that heavy is unpactical due to many reasons I see no point to bring in, because a) no votes against allowed b) I am tired to get called arrogant egoist for arguments
Also, you can't take machine-gun turret and
modify it to hold something 50-150 times larger....
I would point out the vehicle you're referencing was considered a failure and was replaced by something with quad 23mm autocannons, which became the iconic soviet SPAAG the Shilka
As well as american M42 dusters armed with two bofors
But we can't really compare it to our situation, as that was a result of increased speed of jets
