Description
was a 1960s joint German -U.S.-project to develop a new main battle tank using a number of advanced design features. It used a kneeling suspension, housed the entire crew in the turret, and the American version incorporated a gun-fired missile.
Damn, looking so nice ;)
Reminds of Sheridian, just the turret is oversized. And was this ever used anywhere?
Nope, this tank was never fielded or adopted for service. The Americans and Germans split and went their seperate ways; the Americans developing the Abrams, the Germams making the Leopard 2.
there were a few prototypes though, but the overall cost of the tank was why it was never fielded
this was before the M1
