I dunno, but hey it's the thought that counts. Also how did you find out about that light tank. It looks interesting.

edit: The book 'The Illustrated Encyclopedia of the World's Tanks and Fighting Vehicles' sitting on my lap really helps lol

Description

The German Leopard 1 tank was deliverd in a batch system, with each batch featuring improvements. The A4 was very similar to the A3 but featured a new computerized fire control system and the new EMES 12A1 sighting system to aim it. In addition the commander was provided with his own independent night sighting system, the PERI R12. The Leopard 1A4 is armed with the 105mm Royal Ordnance L7A3 L/52 rifled gun. Many countries used these successful tanks with Turkey and Greece still using them albeit with several upgrades.
