Hate to only have the big gun when Infantry is swarming about.
Yeah no more than a single main gun . Am okay with MG. That M3 Lee is a pain to look at to give example. They should compensate the Germans and the British for having to see that in battle. An ungainly sight.

The AMX-30 seemed to pull of the twin heavy weapons with style.

But it still only had a single main gun.

In fact, I can't think of a single successful and/or or not ugly tank design that had two main guns.

EDIT: Ah, except certain WWI tanks, of course.

Default multi gun tanks

All the tank designed with twin or dual turrets were either ugly, utter failures( the T35a and a French tank with 2 turrets come to mind )or never realised like the Ratte and Maus.The only relative successes were the Flakpanzer vierling and wirbelwind but their guns were AA guns.Post WWII the Germans built the Gepard and the Soviets a few flak tanks of their own but again designed to fight aircrafts or helicopters.
