Leo 2 is only 2.8m, but the hight can't be all the criteria for the size can it?
So size 5 for MBT or medium tanks looks fine to me.

Agree M6 is the really big boy at over 3.0m but Leo2 is closer to 3 than 2.5m.
Its a case of where do you draw the line hence mentioned Merkerva as I think a couple were quite tall.
I would say its not the only criteria but is the major one as unlike front & side it is a constant regardless of facing.
Its a questimate any way unless you actualy work out the profile in metres square or whatever. A tall vehicle with a turret would probably offer slightly less area than a non turreted vehicle whose height was mid way between the hull & turret heights of the other vehicle.
The Leo2 just strikes me as being a bit bigger than the norm.
