My take on the U.S. 3-Inch M5 Anti-Tank Gun.

This version with female coupling for towing.

Info from Wikipedia.
******

The 3-inch gun M5 was an anti-tank gun developed in the United States during World War II. The gun combined a 3-inch (76.2 mm) barrel of the anti-aircraft gun T9 and elements of the 105 mm howitzer M2. The M5 was issued exclusively to the US Army tank destroyer battalions starting in 1943. It saw combat in the Italian Campaign and on the Western Front in Northwest Europe.

Production began in December 1942. In November 1943, a slightly modified carriage was standardized as M6. In this carriage, a flat shield borrowed from the 105 mm howitzer was replaced by a new sloped one. In January 1944, AGF requested an upgrade of those guns built with the early carriage M1 to the carriage M6; consequently most of the guns that reached the frontline had the M6 carriage.

This version is mounted on the M6 carriage.

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 Panzergranate 40 Armour Piercing round. (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 stands.
Spacebar: Hand brake.
Camera 1: Gun sight.

Observer's hatch operated with the hinge.

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 a little before hooking it up as it rides very low at level elevation.
The recoil is pretty strong, so keep the hand brake on when shooting but release if towing.
