The Germans just unveiled a new
130mm Main Gun intended to; far future, defeat the T14 Armata.
Right now, it has no official use; but maybe RecruitMonty will find this information useful.

The new 130 mm gun is a precondition for the future tank, known as ‘Main Ground Combat System’ (MGCS) being developed by Germany. MGCS is currently being developed by Germany and France as a future replacement for the Leopard 2 and Leclerc main battle tanks, considering the increasing threat posed by Russian systems such as the Armata (T-14) MBTs.
Rheinmetall unveiled the new weapon at Eurosatory 2016.
