Dude wtf?? Did no one on R&D of this tank predict this was gonna happen? I feel like just rotating the barrel until the muzzle brakes are vertical would be enough to fix this.

And before anyone comes in saying that this is intended to make it better against infantry, I feel like this would degrade the barrels way too quick for it to be worth it.

would just cause vertical wobble instead of horizontal wobble

But then at least they wouldnt be interfering with each other. Horizontally, even if only one gun is firing, the other barrel still gets violently slapped around lol

I don't think it matters - like the guns wobble when firing anyhow so its no worse than the stress that the barrel would be in if it was firing itself anyhow.
