Yes it does depend on what the role wich the armoured car be used, but it also depend on how the armoured car is be used in field. Currently most wheeled vehicles (that is compare to a tank) lightly armoured, so try to hit a even a old MBT or other vehicle has a gun big than a automatic cannon head on is suicidal, because of this most wheeled vehicles use in hit and run against other armoured vehicles or in infantry supporting role. For these purpose 105 mm gun or even D-10 is certainty powerful enough. Since 100/105 gun can hit hard enough to at least to disable a MBT at close range or from side of enemy vehicles, next thing to do is to run fast enough to get out trouble. Bigger gun means heavier weight, and heavier weight may lead to lost in maneuverability, and that can be the difference between life and death.

 

Also I do agree with continue improving of technology, we can turn something that is impossible today in something possible tomorrow. About 20 years ago it is seem impossible or difficult to put a 100/105 gun on a wheeled vehicle, now just everybody can do that and everybody have one.
