Pretty sure that the brake on the tank main guns was to take some of the recoil load off the hydraulic system and chassis allowing a heavier gun to be used without overwhelming the recoil hydraulics.
Extra credit question: Anyone know the main tactical benefit of the muzzle brakes on WWII era tanks?

Awe. That's cute. Has the little guy starting shooting anything bigger than .22 Short yet?One of my buddys says muzzle brakes are for effeminate men.
Then he doesn't understand what he's talking about, or he's support personnel.Well ... yes ... he was in Special Ops.
I don't know about other people's muzzle brake aspirations, but after putting about 80 rounds on my new shortened MN yesterday, I am putting a much larger and annoying one on this weekend. After 30 minutes, my pretty accurate rifle was shooting fliers all over, and it wasn't the guns fault. I think I am just going to machine my own BMG style brake, the recoil got really tiring even with the soft rubber pad on the archangel extended all the way out. I have a brake on a 300blk pistol because a generic brake was cheaper than a .308 birdcage
