[Depending how tank gun made WW goes next year, Vickers might begin work on the 32pdr QF Mk I: Calibre 94mm, weight of shot 32lbs (APC, APCBC, HE), muzzle velocity 2880fps and penetration 310mm at 1000 yards/90 degrees. Developed from the 3.7in AA gun.]

I've been thinking this one over.
I can't see how the 32-pounder would really be necessary at the present time, particularly with the introduction of the historical 20-pounder - which historically saw Britain through most of the 1950s, and is probably one of the best anti-tank guns of the era. Now, I could see the 32-pounder in the event that we had seen combat between some particularly heavily-armoured tanks, such as the Tiger II. But in Wesworld most powers, particularly in Europe, have elected to disregard heavy tanks entirely in favor of a "universal medium". So far as my memory takes me, in fact, I can't recall a single tank (heavy or otherwise) currently in production that has armour that could reliably defeat a 20pounder shell. While other players might occasionally hint at introducing larger tank gun ordnance, I really think that this is unjustified since the armour thicknesses currently in use still will generally still be overmatched by the later-model 75mm+ guns currently in service.
Wot tends to play with penetration and damage values on shells more than anything in order to "balance" gameplay.
Also anyone who's played the game hates the dreaded RNG feature as well, which basically takes your well placed shot and places it under the spell of a roll of the dice. That means you have a plus or minus 25% chance of hiting your target. It's fairly frustrating to watch your shot drift 5 yards to the right or left of your target.....who needs skill then?
Weights tend to be fairly accurate from what I can tell.
