All that plus their ammunition simply did not have the range of comparable Western gun/ammo. I've mentioned elsewhere that their metallurgy wasn't as capable as in the West and one aspect of that was that their tank guns could not reach the same chamber pressures as Western tank guns. The consequence of that was lesser range compared to similar Western tank rounds.
