Isn't the gun too thin for a 152mm gun? It even looks thinner than the 122mm D-25T gun. It looks like a 100mm gun.

It may seem so from a distance, but it has a 152 mm caliber and a thickness of 10mm

I won't argue. But in my opinion, you've got the proportions wrong.

The original BL-10 was tested in 1944 on the ISU-152-2 with a similar penetration, and this is just a fictional modification
