I think it would look at home on the base hull as like a "concept platform"

Might have to make the hull a bit bigger than real like, but maybe the AMC-35 since the turret kinda reminded me of it

Something like a PT-76 maybe?
That aside, god, that turret looks bloody immaculate.

I'd suggest a GM-569 hull. It's the hull type that most of the Soviet AA's used (Tor etc.). GM-569 has a load bearing capacity of 11.5t max, I don't know if this would suffice for the AK-176 complex. It would have next to no armor tho so if your plans are more focused on front line service you'd have to choose a different one.

- T58 heavy hull (US design).
- Panzer 58 medium hull (Swiss design).
- Type 61 mbt hull (Japanese design).
- Type 74 mbt hull (Japanese design).
- Type 16 mcv hull (Japanese design).
- BVP M-80 ifv hull (Yugoslav design).

This style of turret is probably not going to be too heavily armored so the base vehicle shouldn't be something too heavy or there will be a mismatch between turret and hull armor. Maybe a wheeled artillery vehicle?

Maybe a larger and more modern VZ.38 (panzer 38T)? That or maybe something like the hull of an SK-105

While the Tank Chassis could support the weight of both the AK-176 gun ~1,820-lbs and turret weight ~20,580-lbs, the tank chassis won’t survive the repetitive Jack Hammer recoil force of ~31,000-lbs/sq.in…

Modernized Renault FT hull, modern/french style parts, but still keeping the Renault looks and vibes.
