So early war tanks normally carried more rounds of main gun ammo. German, British and American tanks typically carried more rounds than soviet tanks. Early war western tanks might carry 100+ rounds, late war western tanks 70-100 rounds. Early war soviet tanks carried 70-100 rounds, late war soviet tanks carried as few as 30 rounds.
There are specialty late war tanks that carried very few but very large rounds on both sides.
Typically western tanks favor smaller rounds that can be loads and fired faster, while the Soviets favored larger rounds with higher killing power but takes longer to load.
Ok, but where did they store it, the ammo was huge, it wasn't like they were shooting spitwads out of a straw in grade school.
I know, I know, it was magic, not engineering. AMEYE RIGHT?
Sometimes there would be a few dozen rounds stowed in the rear of the turret, in the part that that overhangs. Mostly they are stowed in the hull.
