what tank hold the more ammo? i found that the early KV 1 hold up to 111, looks like too much is in it?
can you consider the Puma a tank? Not really so I'll say panzerII, Ill try to look around for some info. By the way to you mean most storage space, or ammo for the main gun of the tank because different tank ammo took up diffrent amount of space. Edit: Around 180 20 mm Panzer II
The late versions of the Sherman could hold up to 96 rounds as well, but these don't seem to beat the KV-1 at 111. Similarly, the Panzer IV ranks around 90 in most versions. I think Me262 has answered his own question.
Hi. Japanese light tanks were able to carry 125 shots of 37 mm ammunition, the medium tanks carried 100 shots of 57 mm or 80 shots of 47 mm, the type 3 was able to carry 77 shots of 75 mm ammo. There was much space inside tanks below the floor plates besides the shaft. Yours tom!
Sherman MkV Firefly deleted the bow-gunner position--and machine-gun--using this area instead for additional ammunition stowage for the 17 pounder. I'm not sure what the resulting increase in main-gun rounds carried was... Tim
Probably not much. The main reason for making the change was that the 17-pdr shells were so much larger than the 75mm shells that it was needed. Plus all the space they lost in the turret from packing in the much bigger breech.
Hi. It also depends on the cartridge length....... The japanese type 97 57 mm tank gun was a low velocity gun and so the amunition was shorter than the ammo for the type 1 47 mm high velocity tank gun. Yours tom!
Sorry to reactivate this tread But I have a question in the same direction: Where could I found the ammo storeage space in rounds for main gun und secondary weapon of WW2 tanks. For German, Amercian and British tanks I've found something, but for the soviet tanks I've found only the weapon sizes, but nothing about Ammo Cap. Could you help me?
Here you go. http://www.onwar.com/tanks/ussr/index.htm For example the T-34-76 Model 1940 held 77 rounds of 75mm. http://www.onwar.com/tanks/ussr/data/t3476m40.htm And 2898/4725 rounds of machine gun ammo depend on if it had a radio or not.
