And reduced ammo capacity, along with reduced barrel life span.
Sweden S T140/40 would have only 29/32 140mm rounds.

Not really. We've already gotten the dart from 20mm diameter to 40mm diameter and to keep the same velocity characteristics with a 60mm diameter dart, you'll need to have a bigger gun anyway...There are still ways to improve the ammo. Find ways to propel the round faster. find ways to make the weapon fire faster. Something like that. The biggest defense against armor is CAS and artillery with the way armor is being developed. it is also harder for gun tech to imrpove
Make them nuclear tipped!Not really. We've already gotten the dart from 20mm diameter to 40mm diameter and to keep the same velocity characteristics with a 60mm diameter dart, you'll need to have a bigger gun anyway...
My (user)name is gral, and I endorse this post.Make them nuclear tipped!
The tech for 120mm micro-nukes isn't there yet, last I've checked.Make them nuclear tipped!
It will be one day!The tech for 120mm micro-nukes isn't there yet, last I've checked.
That is unless UV-Pulse lasers are a thing, then ICBMs (and ballistic missiles in general) are defacto useless unless you want to simply have one nuke to every seven decoys...Small nukes start escalation to big nukes and before you know it, ICBMs are flying en masse.
How about nuclear like force behind the blast?Small nukes start escalation to big nukes and before you know it, ICBMs are flying en masse.
That wouldn't be possible, as UV-pulse lasers would pwn them too.In that case we will see more Pluto like projects.
Not really, especially if you add the fun that is 'smart dust' and microsats. Can't carry out a sneak attack if the moment you try its detected...Pluto like nuclear ramjet cruise missiles could use terrain masking to avoid ground based laser defenses, while any such orbital facilities cold be disabled with kinetic kill projectiles.
Well, i once read novel about future in which quests at wedding use small nukes to fight each other after they get drunk.It will be one day!

Yes, then radioactive rain helped sober up, walking back home they mutated, growing extra legs and chitinous armour. I remember that one. Nuclear Wedding.
Yes, now i remember.But most interesting for me was his Ambasador - alternate history where soviets win,becouse western world refused to fight for itself.
Yeah, we'll be seeing up gunning more than using ETC guns for the immediate future... that is why Russia has the 152mm in its back pocket, so to speak.The French defense firm Nexter is known to be conducting trials with a 140mm mounted on a modified LeClerc testbed, while Rheinmetall showed off a 130mm/L51 gun at the Eurosatory arms expo back in 2016 and more recently showed off video footage of that gun mounted on what appears to be a modified Challenger 2.
