Tak: I've identified two potential guns I could outfit the M18 and I can't decide which one would be more useful. The first is a 105mm howitzer, it has a powerfull high explosive round, but it's anti-armor performance is lacking. The other is a 90mm anti-tank gun, which has better anti-armor performance than the howitzer, but a less useful high explosive shell.

"Wings are an unecessary safety feature"Tak: The 90mm gun is high-velocity, meaning the shells need to have thick casings so they don't disintegrate when you accelerate them up to over 1000 m/s in a fraction of a second. This also leaves less room for explosive filler, meaning while its HE is slightly better than my current gun's, it's nowhere near as good as the 105.
"Wings are an unecessary safety feature"Tak: Maybe, but there are many problems with doing that. I can't just drop the gun in, the mounts only fit one type of gun, so I'd need to build either two different interchangeable mounts, or one mount, then modify the guns so they can fit into that mount. Secondly, every time I put in a new gun I'll have to sight it in to make sure the gun is going to hit where I aim, which requires I have somewhere I can shoot the gun, Thirdly, guns are not cheap.

Yin: I do not recall. That is a possibility though.
