Phochs 3 .

Yes, we would.

The CRV-7 has a better damage mechanism and mitgates the requirement to take away the TERMA and SNIPER from the 2 stations a gun would be mounted.

The latest warhead on the CRV-7 outstrips the capability of a gun which requires a direct hit on the target, even with an HE round. (There's only so much poke you can put into a 27mm or even 30mm round to create frag effects.)

I'd like both but if I had to choose between a gun or CRV-7, the rockets win every time for the Afghanistan piece.
