the 75mm gun couldnt be mounted on the larger turret?
The_Chieftain: It's all the fiddly bits to the sides of the gun barrel. The
sight, the coaxial machine gun, the recoil mechanism, elevation
gear, and so on and so forth. Even if you can get the things to
physically fit, you also have to be able to access them for
maintenance, replacement of parts, and so on. With the entire gun
'shoved forward' into the narrow bit of the turret, there is less
room around those components.
