but we are talking about tanks here. and for a tank  4 or 5 inches is a pretty big gun.  for example the 88mm is only 3.46 inches, but when it hits the ground or a tank it creates a massive hit.  not many tanks had the armor to survive such hit.  look at ww2 movies and see the arty explosions when they hit the ground, those were not 100 inch shells.

here this will give you an idea of how really the arty/cannons shells were small but gave some massive punch.

considering the 105mm equipped shermans were intended to be mobile infantry support assault guns, not anti-tank guns, it doesn't really matter.  :neener:

they carried minimal ap and only used it to defend against enemy tanks if they had to. reload time was a bit slower than the 75/76mm guns.

Enabling "land mode" on an LVT 4 would be a start.

  i think for aiming it would be better to have a similiar setup as the guns on the cv.moving would be like a vehicle.....they would have a longer range and could be used in direct fire assault and defence attacks
