Title: MBTs that should be.
Post by: ysi_maniac on August 04, 2021, 08:59:14 PM
European MBT

AMX-40 with Leopard 2A4 hull. A kind of super LeoX or Leox2.

I like the idea of a secundary gun between 20mm and 50mm, in this case, Rheinmetall 20mm. In first option, it is installed coaxially to main gun; in second option, a full unmanned turret is merged with original rotary cupola.

You could also mate an early Leopard 2 turret with an M48 hull - this was actually combined in Germany during the Leopard 2's development, but it was only a test bed and not a serial production type.

Another MBT project with secundary gun in a turret merged with cuppola.
