The reason no such weapons have been mounted on tanks is the fact that they are inaccurate, short ranged, difficult to maintain under field conditions, due to their large number of moving parts, and they require more ammunition (due to there high firing rate) than an armored vehicle could realistically carry into combat. It simply is easier to carry a large conventional weapon which can deliver one large round rather than a hundred small ones. Also a conventional tank gun can be used for indirect fire support, which the GAU-8 cannot do, being a purely direct fire weapon.
yes,all ww1 tanks had guns
Do they now? Some tanks have certainly had rifled-barrelled guns.
French 75mm field guns; Renault model 1917 tanks; Spad 13 airplanes were the most popular and successful of allied guns, tanks, and planes.
Japanese Type 95 light tanks were armed with 37mm guns & the Type 97 medium tanks were armed with 47mm guns.
Tanks use cannons; and aircraft use machine guns or automatic cannons (small caliber such as 20mm, 30mm, etc). Tank cannons are called "main guns." During the Vietnam War, the US Patton tanks fired 90mm main guns; while the Australian Centurion tanks fired 84mm guns.
