Well Stince is correct and the Pershing during initial test runs is slower than snot on a crisp February morning... motors to be swapped at earliest convenience hehe.

I got to work (...while at work) on the tougher issue being the installation of the recoil / elevation unit.

I made a base plate out of thick aluminum sheet that will be tapped for an M3 bolt to hold it in place.

I formed some thinner aluminum into brackets that the bolts will pass through to secure the plate. I had to move the entire unit backwards a little bit to get proper recoil clearance, and won't get a lot of barrel elevation travel but it will be enough to battle with. This gun with recoil will look good.

(I think my American tankers are compensating for something...)
