But even electricity gives a force. And a gun of that type which doesn't fire a projectile does not need caliber, merely power levels.
After all, Newton's first law applies here. I would expect a large device would be needed to generate the levels of plasma needed to punch through tank armor. @Supermini555
Claiming this tank is practical is by itself defying the laws of physics.
The recoil would put an immense strain on the trunnions, turret ring, tracks, and suspension, even with buffers. It was not uncommon for Paternian forces to find Awwami tanks, abandoned, with damaged elevation gears, jammed turret rings, and numerous shattered torsion bars. @Mudkip
Just for some comparison, the guns of the Alaska-class American heavy cruisers are 305mm weapons. The guns of the USS Arizona are 14 inch, or 356mm weapons.
That means these guns fire shells 1 foot wide.
You are mounting 20th-century capital ship main battery guns on a tank.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation That's the same kind of gun, a 16 inch high velocity gun. Given your description, the gun here are more powerful guns than the Iowa-class battleship.
Now, for the huge recoil, you mentioned the thing is made of graphene, which is quite shock resistant. Technologies unavailable in 1944 could serve to reduce the recoil of the gun.
However, graphene is incredibly light, and therefore, I would presume, cause significant problems.
The most obvious solution is to employ additional or more effective dampeners, as well as limiting turret traverse in order to handle said recoil better.
However, this creates a whole host of other tactical problems, such as what happens when the enemy is anywhere but in front of the tank.
In addition, the gun would fire very slowly, at about a shot per minute, and would rely almost exclusively on an autoloader. In addition, given the immense size of 400mm projectiles, the ammunition capacity would be incredibly small, about a few rounds.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation We find our machines superior on the account that our machines have a much higher battle readiness rate than others.
Well; I'd assume you'd have other things to do like visiting your empire and making laws.
These were the experiments done that paved the way to your super soldier program, so it would not require the closely and time-consuming process of selective breeding. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Just for comparison, the most powerful battleship guns manufactured in America are the 16"/50 cal Mk 7 naval gun. 406mm weapons. Nine of these guns across three turrets, graced the American Iowa-class battleships, of which four were built.
I have personally visited one such battleship, the USS Missouri (BB-63). And these guns are HUGE.
50 calibers denotes barrel length, that is, the gun barrel is 50 times longer than the bore.
In terms of artillery, a 40+ caliber gun is considered a high-velocity gun.
Here is a link to the Iowa-class battleships I am talking about. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
I was referring to the Immortals, an elite bodyguard unit of the Persian emperors long ago. 10,000 strong, it was said that when one died, another took his place, so that the force is always 10,000 men strong.
Its history. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Well, it turns out the cure is effective against the original XYZ rabies before transformation.
HOWEVER, there is at least a hundred strains of bacteria, fungi, and parasites, which all turn people into zombies in very, VERY, different ways. @GoldenEagle
It's a metaphor. The very scientific developments can either make technology to progress or regress humanity.
Take airplanes as an example. Air travel is one of the safest forms of travel in the world, safer than stairs. Yet, airplanes have been used in hundreds of conflicts, killing millions. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
That's the name on file. Perhaps it is a nickname, or you've just burned General Sadat's records to prove me wrong.
Since your side has a total of 0 characters (I credit your ancestors for making that symbol), I made some. As of now, he's the ONLY Persian known by name. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
So your police chiefs tell you. They do so only because for some reason, they still fear you and are lying in order to prevent you from screwing everything up. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Virtually everyone agrees that there is a zombie apocalypse that cannot be exterminated and have focused efforts on containment. Only you have continue a futile attempt to eradicate it. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Perhaps the northern, colder regions were less affected. But I am afraid that the number of living citizens are outnumbered by the Persian zombies created in part due to the Caliph's denial of fact. @Supermini555
It's a plasma weapon, so I believe it to be of comparable power to the 120mm M5A6. @PINK
That's what I saw. Awwami tanks disabled by firing their guns. @Mudkip
You missed. @Mudkip
Evidence? @Mudkip

Pls have practical caliber.
How did our M36 perform in trials?
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation It was an experiment, sir. Done outside of your supervision.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation THE LAWS OF PHYSICS FROM 1944 ARE EQUALLY VALID A CENTURY AND A HALF LATER.
This has interested the Paternian Air Force. Permission to produce a variant?

I propose an upgrade where I shall make a version with functional bomb bay.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation We find our machines superior on the account that our machines have a much higher battle readiness rate than others.
But I suppose I can make this better.
This, is Sanic fast. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
I'm also working on my version of the Swedish S-Tank. @Himynameiswalrus
Main gun caliber? @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
You do?
Well; I'd assume you'd have other things to do like visiting your empire and making laws.

I suppose I shall take your suggestions in consideration. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
The nurse was a bit of a fanatic. What we call dogmatic. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Again, you got this wrong. The main character is a woman.
And these experiments were done without your knowledge. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Still a cool plane though.
@drdoom222 A man.
The character is a woman.
Except that Europa just so happens to be in the orbit of the LARGEST planet in this solar system.
Chances are, Europa will fall into Jupiter. @JakeTheDogg
Still, there's Persia in the name. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation

No, 16 inches.
Battleship guns.

lol @Supermini555
I just wanted you to know that I have made two formal overtures of peace. Both which were declined.
And this is why the Persian Empire is filled with zombies. @JakeTheDogg
Agree to our terms. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
ITS A METAPHOR. @Supermini555
