If that cannon has any kind of recoil, put it in the center of the turret face!
It's a HOVER tank. You don't want it dealing with off-center recoil, it'll throw the tank any which way. If you'd made a grav tank it would be an excusable (barely) mistake, but hover engines, by virtue of displacing air, have a reaction lag.
The turret itself is off-center. The cannon is along the centerline of the tank body. However, I figure if we have the technology to float a 150 ton tank on an air cushion (and all the power generation that implies) then recoil compensation would probably be handled as well. Same goes for the rear mounted engine and turret.
The tank is big. It's huge. I added some folks (refugees from the Blue Man Group) to give an idea of size.
I've drawn alot of ideas from Hammer's Slammers (gotta combat car on here somewhere), but I am not sure this truly qualifies as such. There is plate armor on this tank and the Slammer's tanks are supposed to be cast of a single hull of Iridium. I guess this beast could fight in the Slammers universe.

ALso made the fan covers. I'm not sure I like the front partials...
