There are references to a semi-automatic loading system designed and built by Skoda and trialed in Schmalturm. The 7.5 cm KwK 44/2 gun may have been fitted with a recoil operated automatic loader/rammer operating with a four round cassette, which the crew just had to top up. It was expected to produce a firing rate of 40 rounds per minute.
Why we don't have revorver gun in german tanks too if it had been developed primary for Panther ausf F and E50?
Overlord: We would like to keep auto-loading as unique feature of French
high-tiers. Though if you can submit any credible evidence this
mechanism had been successfully developed, we will at least
consider this as an option.
