Actually it would be “Waffentraeger Aufsfuruhng Leichttraktor mit 8.8 cm PaK 45 L/130″, but since that’s such a mouthful, let’s just call it the “Waffletraktor”.

Arguing by this logic, WoT should have only one Churchill in the game, since the other is basically just a turret modification (Churchill Mk. VII gained an improved hull).

Tbh, I was calculating this in WG balancing, not real life :D

Hmm… I think a 11 meter gun in Berlin against an IS-3 isn’t really a good idea.

The barrel pressure would be so much that it’d break the barrel after approximately 50 shots? :D

I want to know what kind of projectile the 8.8cm L/130 would’ve used. It couldn’t have had much in the way of explosive charge in the APC shells, HE power would be terrible, and the APCR shots would overpenetrate every tank it might’ve seen save maybe for the IS-3.

We know the Germans knew the IS-3 existed. Apparently there were ghost sightings of them in the closing months of the war. Perhaps the L/130 was developed to kill it?

“In reference to the 17 cm howitzer, because there’s already a 17 cm gun (a better one) on the Jagdpanzer E-100 ”

That IS the 17cm L/53, the only way it’s “better” is that it doesn’t have the 75mm “weakspot” above it

Cause it’s just a better armored E-100 turret? Anyway, that 8,8cm L/130 could be installed on sth. like a Jagdmaus.
