Obviously this'd be for licenced production by Lyras or someone, so he can make more money off of II players.

I assumed it'd be weird if it breached NBC to do so.
Though on recollection I think it does. Which is kind of weird.

It'd just be easier to have them roll away from the loader and under the gunner/tc where they can easily be disposed of and won't be a problem
Or a better idea, have some sort of deflector plate behind the gun so that they drop into a receptacle below the breech?
Kind of like this except much bigger.
That way you don't have to break NBC just to keep giant hunks of brass from rolling around on the floor.

IE: Of the 42 shells, how many were what type of APFSDS, HEAT, HESH, et cetera.
What are the dimensions of those shells, or at the very least of the cartridge case itself?

nope T-14 it'll prove to be a piece of junk, stick with the T-90 and T-72 and upgrade those to be better hellfire targets XDXDXD

You are trolling, right? I don't know whether this post is trolling or just stupid.
The most powerful gun ever fired in combat was either the Paris Gun (WWI) or the Schwerer Gustav (WWII). The latter is a seven hundred millimetre gun.
The GAU-8 is one of the most powerful guns fitted to modern jet aircraft, but still doesn't have a thing on the 105mm artillery cannon, or even the 40mm Bofors cannon, both of which are fitted to the AC-130 Spectre slash Spooky turboprop-powered transport/attack aircraft.
However, it is FAR from the most powerful gun ever fired in combat, let alone even devised.

Define powerful.
Define gun.

Powerful: adjective. Having great power or strength. In the case of weapons, we'll assume that we're referring to muzzle energy in joules, or any orders of magnitude thereof.
Gun: noun. A weapon designed around a metal tube, from which projectiles are propelled by an explosive force. This typically makes a characteristic loud, sharp noise. In this case, this includes both guns that contain rifling, which stabilize their projectiles by imparting a centrifugal force on them using spiraled grooves in the barrel, as well as smoothbore guns, which do not stabilize their projectiles by imparting a centrifugal force on them using spiraled grooves in the barrel.

1) Muzzle energy varies according to propellant and ammunition used. I was expecting a mathematical formula or formulae like real-life militaries use when describing "power".
2) I made a gun once. I put a firecracker in a tin can and it shot into the air.

1) Close enough of a definition for me to be able to estimate that the 70cm Schwerer Gustav is a more powerful gun than a 3cm Gun, Aircraft Unit 8 Avenger.
2) By definition it's a gun, then.

1) Close enough only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
2) Maybe your absurd definition, but not a good definition.

1) Close enough for government work, in any case.
2) Google "Definition of Gun", and adjust the wording ever so slightly. That's the absurd definition that Google automatically gives me, and slash but it's close enough for the purpose.
