Ok, so the ML20 being a smoothbore eliminates the jsu152 from this, so the current leader is the jagdtiger at 128mm.

The jagdtiger was a self propelled gun not a tank. It could not rotate the turret. So Pershing or Tiger or JS 2 or the like I guess.

The Jagdtiger is a self propelled gun not a tank isn't it. The biggest must be the jS2 or the Pershing or the Tiger.

If the Jagtiger was a self propelled gun and is eliminated then we must move to either the King Tiger or Maus as these tanks did sport the 12.8 although limited as they were.

Well, was it a self propelled gun or a tank destroyer? If a TD, it should still be allowed.

the m18 was a tank destroyer, not in the ame legue admitidley, are we using tank as in any tracked vehicle or just as a tracked vehicle with a turret that can rotate? if so then the jagdtiger and jagdpanther are out as they cant rotate the turret, although as i understand they had a small amount of lateral movent on the gun.
again i may be wrong
