I mean... the FV4005 is really cool, and this project has been really enjoyable to watch, but it's not like the U.S. didn't have an equivalent of the time. Have you checked out the T28/T95 super heavy tank the U.S. designed to break through the Siegfried Line? That thing was a monster, and while it never served in the war, it was heavily tested by the U.S. Army. Thankfully, there's still one in existence today at the U.S. Army Armor & Cavalry Collection, right next to Fort Benning in Georgia.

Have you seen the size of the gun on the T28/T29? Yeah, it's not 183mm like the FV4005, but it does have a very long 105mm gun with a higher muzzle velocity, meant to penetrate reinforced concrete bunkers. Personally, I think 105mm is good enough, especially considering what the tank was meant to go up against. The U.S. Army certainly could have made a larger caliber gun, but then it likely wouldn't have fit in the chassis, which was already huge and heavily armored (kind of needed when you're going up against the Seigfried Line).
