You guys left out the armoured tracked vehicle with six recoiless guns attachted to it. Can't think of the name just now, but it was a small vehicle for extra fire-power.

The barrels look like rocket launcher and not MBT main guns. I'd swear I've seen this tank before, but I don't remember anything about it. I suppose its an interesting and even useful idea, as long as it actually works.

The main guns are Recoiless Rifles.

I think I have a good idea what they are, but just in case I don't, why don't you tell me all about recoiless rifles.
