Re: 150mm KwK 44 L/38 and 170mm KwK 44 L/71
Another thing to keep in mind with these kind of exercises is this is in the realm of Alternate History or Fantasy if you will. So in order for these beasties to arise, other things would be happening as well. Just in gun technology alone there would advances in metalurgy, ammuntion, optics and stabalization. Put in this context some of these Nazi Nightmares one could suppose might have come to life.
As for the monster guns 12.8cm and above, the thing I find most impracticial is having to load separate warhead and charge loads. For a Battle Tank single round makes more sense in terms of speed of loading, storage within the vehicle and safety. This is why I chose to only create 10cm & 10.5cm Guns.
