Did they ever mount any sort of fixed anti tank weapon on jeeps?

not in WWII. they could tow a 37mm AT gun however. on post war jeeps, recoiless rifles and later, TOW missiles were mounted on the sturdy old warhorse.

Im afraid that if we get the Wirbelwind, the Ostwind will get abandoned. Afterall, the Ostwind has a bigger gun, but it's darn hard to aim with it!

Kubelwagen would be cool!

(haha)

I think a 75mm tank gun weights a tad more than the halve ton a jeep could carry. And smaller guns wont hurt the tank...

But what about the 75mm recoiless rifles that were mounted on jeeps in the latter part of WWII and used a lot in korea? I'm not sure of their velocity but I can't imagine them being used for anything but anti-tank/bunker warfare.
