Would an autoloader increase a heavy gun's maximum loading or ramming angle?
Short answerNot necessarily; the ramming angle would still be constrained by the mounting and the technology already used to load the gun.
NotesA viewer asks whether automatic loading would let a heavy gun accept ammunition at a higher angle. The autoloader alone would probably not raise the ramming angle beyond the mounting's existing limit. The constraint remains the period mechanism that aligns and drives the shell into the breech. Automation can reduce handling work and increase cycle speed without changing every geometric limit of the gun.
