Lets see all the problems (that i can find ATM) about this SPG

First, its gun. Itll expirence the same thing as Marc's cannon thing,the bullet wont go past the halfway mark of the barrel before it drops back down.

Even if u can get it out of the barrel, escape velocity is like is 11km/s which means, you wont be able to hit anything in orbit as even if u get it out, its a 5m wide round, which means itll be like, 10-15m long, and that size, initial velocity (propellant charge) would be like, 2-4km/s at most.

Lets say, you use a rocket propelled round. Heres the options: Fire the rocket at the start, or activate it after it leaves the barrel. And to the first one, it wont even leave the barrel, which means the second option is out, and the first? Itll build up so much pressure the gun will explode.

And even if u avoid that somehow, your round isnt big enough to contain the fuel needed to reach orbit.

Now how do u aim the gun? the way u put it, the most itll rotate is 5-15 degrees to all sides.

And last of the gun problem, why use a gun when u have MCMs?

onto the manuverablity.

Its size, around 300m, its going to weigh like, 4 million tons, which means the only way to get it to move around with the speeds u said is with antigrav, and because ur using tracks, itll move at like, at most, 300m an hour, which is like, the length of the damn tank.

Now, because its 4 million tons, its going to sink into the ground.

And the hull mounted guns... Careful of ur placements, its on top of the side skirts.
