The 105MM gun was a very good weapon. It was replaced when testing concluded that it had reached the limit of its effectiveness and we needed more punch to counter the soviet tanks. Not to mention reactive armor and chobham armor was also being looked at. That is why the move went to the 120 which is pretty much the standard world wide now. Its just like in WW2 we went from the 37 to the 75 and then got stupid and did not push for the 90MM or the Pershing. A lot of good men died in Shermans that would not have had they been in pershings.
