Does weapon weight count in World of Tanks?

I'm driving a Luchs (Light Tank) as a scout in WoT and I'm having a problem about choosing between the main gun:

Gun 3cm M.K. 103
Gun 5cm Kw.K. 39 L/60

The latteris better in every aspect (apart from burst damage) but it weights 700kg while the former is just 141kg. Does this count in WoT? For example does using the latter makes my tank accelerate significantly faster?

I'm not looking for acceleration-based information it was just an example.

Best Answer

The weight affects many things, including speed/acceleration, and also what you can equip. Your tracks have a weight load limit, say 1500 Kg (not a real number, just for example). With the 700 Kg gun, you can only have 800 more Kg, and might not be able to equip a new radio because it adds too much weight. Weight is something to be mindful of, but not the most important factor when choosing weapons.
