Relative weights of PaK 75mm and 88mm for tank installation

Hi guys,

I've been trawling the usual haunts for information about the relative weights of a handful of guns for mounting in tanks and tank destroyers. I'm trying to get a good perspective of how much more effort was needed to mount an 88mm than a 75 for relative performance. I'm not particularly interested in the 75 L/70 or the 88 L/71 but for comparative weights, due to their similar length (in calibres), they might be a good place to start. I found this thread from a few years ago:

http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... m#p1641706

which was quite helpful. The weapons I'm interested in are the 7.5 L/43, the 7.5 L/48 and their equivalent lengths in the 88mm.

Again, these are all for tank/tank destroyer installations and not FlaK or carriage mounted.

Wikipedia and others only have penetration stuff, which is of no value to me.

Thanks in advance.
