The Thai Army didn't want the OPLOT for that reason and the USA still doesn't use them as well by way of example.
The MGS uses an autoloader, the M8 and the Crusader would have used an autoloader (the latter with no manual backup at all, or so GAO claims) and the FCS too. The Abrams may not use it, for now at least, but whatever misgivings there might have been about incorporating it back then in the 70's or squeezing such a piece of equipment now in a tank that has not been designed for it it is clear that no such hangups exist in regards to new vehicles.

There is no way they give any secrets to the public away unless they are leaked intentonally to decieve.
We are not talking about F-22 radar,alloys for high performance jet turbine blades or such though; there are T-72s in private hands nowadays.
How the ammunition is stored and how the autoloader operates is not a secret anymore. Newer stuff like Leclerc, yes you will not get exact details that you can trust 100% but general principles still apply.

Don't think F-22 raptor will surface any time soon or maybe scrapped totally, under the current POTUS and defence budget cuts,but that's outside the current game concept reality, so lets not don't go there
