Default Re: Soviet auto-loaders

Hey Buddy, here's something to EYE!

Check the attachment!


"General Dynamics Land Systems also offers the Modular Low-Profile Turret 105 (LPT 105), fully described in the Light tanks section, for installation on the Centurion, as well as other vehicles such as the Leopard 1, M48, M60, M1, T-54/T-55/T-62 and AAV7A1.

The LPT, which is armed with a 105 mm gun firing standard NATO ammunition, offers a number of advantages as follows: it reduces the profile of the tank and therefore makes it harder to hit, it reduces the overall weight of the vehicle (so allowing additional armour to be applied to the hull), it reduces the crew from four to three, it provides increased protection against top attack and has further growth potential to 120 mm and a mix of guns and missiles."

Sorry if this isn't on-topic, but it is an interesting auto-loader.
