My take on the British Ordnance QF 17 Pounder anti-tank gun. It's low-ish detail so low brick count.

This version has a tan desert paint job and the female coupling for towing.

Info from Wikipedia, somewhat edited.
******

The Ordnance Quick-Firing 17-pounder (or just 17-pdr) was a 76.2 mm (3 inch) gun developed by the United Kingdom during World War II. It was used as an anti-tank gun on its own carriage, as well as equipping a number of British tanks. Used with the APDS shot, it was capable of defeating all but the thickest armour on German tanks. It was used to "up-gun" some foreign-built vehicles in British service, notably to produce the Sherman Firefly variant of the US M4 Sherman tank, giving British tank units the ability to hold their own against their German counterparts.

Fully developed 17-pounders started production in 1943 and were first used during the Italian Campaign. They became a very effective weapon on the battlefield, on both carriages and tanks.

The 17-pounder anti-tank guns also saw action in Korea against tanks and in general support use against bunker positions.

Controls.
Alt + Arrow keys or Mouse: Traverse and elevation. (Somewhat reduced compared to the real thing due to big guns and some limitations in the game).
Fire action 1/Num 1: Fire Armour-piercing discarding sabot (APDS). (4 AP guns stacked.)
Fire action 2/Num 2: Fire High Explosive round. (4 HE guns stacked.)
Auxiliary / PgUp-PgDn: Operate split-trail carriage and front shield.
Spacebar: Hand brake.

Camera 1: Gun sight.

Moving breech with smoke.
Reload time is about 4 seconds for both ammo types.
The gun can be towed. I recommend elevating the gun barrel to max elevation before hooking it up as it rides very low at level elevation. My Bedford QLB Bofors Gun Tractor works well.
The recoil is pretty strong, so keep the hand brake on when shooting but release if towing.

Feel free to edit, but if you reupload publicly in any way please acknowledge the original creation and creator.

Have fun blowing up tanks and stuff!
