The 7.5 cm KwK 40 (7.5 cm Kampfwagenkanone 40) was a German 75 mm Second World War era vehicle-mounted gun, used as the primary armament of the German Panzer IV (F2 models onwards) medium tank and the Sturmgeschütz III and Sturmgeschütz IV assault guns (F models onwards).

The design of the KwK 40 was adapted from the similar towed anti-tank gun, the 7.5 cm Pak 40. It replaced the short-barrel 7.5 cm KwK 37 L/24 close-support gun, providing a huge improvement in firepower for mid-war tank designs. It came in two versions, with L/43 and L/48 barrel lengths, the former used during 1942 and early 1943, and the latter after that point. Along with the Pak 40, the KwK 40/StuK 40 was the most numerous anti-tank gun of the German army, and remained an effective weapon until the war's end.

This gun is equivalent to the 17Pdr in damage.

Damage: 2.5 blocks of heavy armour penetration.
Range: 5000m (With drop)
RPM: 14

Big thanks to Whiplash141 for making the penetration framework! Without his work, none of these mods would have been possible

Any way for the recoil to be reduced? The gun is rocking back a 47 ton tank like its a truck.

only a few of my awg weapons are displaying in the block selection screen, even though i have checked if they are added to my save files, and installed, but the other awg weapons including this dont show so i cant place the blocks

@Reigdaer Every weapon, as far as I know, should be. The only thing lacking are the Stalinium Plates, which are made for Creative Mode.

Heads up: you're gonna have to load the shells in manually, if I remember correctly.

Very strange, they have the same weight as their other counterparts. Not sure how to help you :(

For some reasons, the latest 128mm 88mm and 75mm gun seems to be too heavy to lift by the
Conveyor Hinges mod while the rest of the guns work very well. Any clue why? Or they are simply heavier than the others?

L/43 with the L/48's muzzle brake, some were built like that due to equipment shortages, and I can't change the length now people are building with it :P

is this the l/43 or l/48?
