I will. If your tank wins, how much do production rights go for?

Erm . . . a bit too much ammo . . . most modern tanks can't/don't carry over 60 standard sabots . . . and IMO your size increase isn't big enough to accomodate a three-fold round increase + 45 SAM missiles + the extra equipment needed to provide guidance and storage for those missiles and the twin barrels . . . I count a 12-cell missile system on the turret [12 holes], so that means you've got to hold the reloading mechanism and the magazine for an additional 33 missiles inside the hull.

Unless, of course, you've got a big 45-cell missile rig on top of the hull . . . in which case it's beautiful target for my smaller, faster, Mark III designs . . . not to mension all those faster and smaller tanks out there . . .

Production Rights isn't for sale at this early stage.... Test the tank for awhile and then we'll see.

Twice the cannons, twice the damage.

Well no, they're too far apart to be fired at the same target over any distance, also they would not hit the same spot, greatly reducing the advantage of firing two shot. In addition to that they would require a huge amount of space in the turret and ammunition would have to be divided between them to such an extent that (most modern tanks carry 40 - 60 round with 120mm guns) each gun would only be able to fire about 8 times.

Two cannons could prove useful for bombarding enemy trenches and positions.

No they wouldn't, because all they would provide would be a faster firing rate. Do you really need to fire more often than once every 4-5seconds? A better question is that extra firing rate worth making your tank much heavier for (so ti sinks into mud etc) and much slower for. quite frankly it isn't worth it.
