The 7.5 cm KwK 37 L/26 was a short-barreled, howitzer-like German 75 mm tank gun used during World War II, primarily as the main armaments of the early Panzer IV tanks. Slightly modified as StuK 37, it was also mounted in early StuG III assault guns.
It was designed as a close-infantry support artillery gun firing a high-explosive shell (hence the relatively short barrel), but was also effective against the early war tanks it faced during the period. Starting from March 1942, new variants of the Panzer IV and StuG III had their main armament upgraded, as a derivation of the 7.5 cm PaK 40 anti-tank gun for a self-moving turreted platform, to the new longer-barreled 7.5 cm KwK 40. When older Panzer IVs were upgunned, their former KwK 37 guns were reused to arm later Panzer III tanks and other infantry support vehicles. In 1943 depleted stocks and continued demand from producing Panzer III Ausf. N required restarting production of a slightly revised version under the designation 7.5 cm K 51 L/24 (7.5 cm Kanone 51 L/24).

BIG THANKS TO WHIPLASH141 FOR MAKING THIS AMAZING PENETRATION SCRIPT! Without his work, none of these mods would have been possible

If I do end up remaking it, it'll be going in my WeaponCore pack :)

I know this has been unmaintained for some time, but if you ever can find it in your time or interests to rebuild this gun/mod, I'd be in your debt. These tank part mods are a god send and its been a absolute joy building Panzers lately :D

I am rather sure that it is completely and uterly broken by now, simply on account of how much the updates already fucked with still maintained mods, and the fact that one of my worlds that had this mod is litteraly unplayable which may be due to a few unmaintained mods, so yea, sadly I fear it is nolonger working :/

It was last updated over a year ago, it's almost certainly broken. An alternative would be the M3 125mm Howitzer, if you need a short barrelled HEAT launcher.

Does it still work ?

I wonder what "Unsupported" means. I'll get to it if I want to. Remember, you're using my stuff /for free/ :) There are alternatives, like my M3 125mm if you want something short that fires HEAT.

well revamp already then sorry if i'm blunt but I would just like to be able to use it without any misshaps like the game freezing or crashing.

I understand

Most likely not, this weapon was a test for the short 125mm's effects and it doesn't meet my standards at all to be honest. At some point I'll come back to it and revamp it.
