FV226 Contradictious (Great Britain, Tier-8, HT, premium, new mechanics: choice of firing mode)
Historical Reference:
A fairly balanced project with the traditional British emphasis on firepower and protection. The main feature of the vehicle was the armament system: the “20-pounder” and the new 105-mm L7 gun were considered. To ensure the required rate of fire, the gun was planned to be installed in an oscillating turret. Since the gun was on a fixed elevation, it was equipped with simple mechanical devices that facilitated the work of two loaders. Although the requirements could well have been achieved, the dimensions and weight of the tank were too large. The project was closed.
