A proper future tank would carry separate C-RAM or laser to defeat many threats while saving main gun ammo for use where needed because it takes so much space in the hull.

High angle fire is a very good idea though, but for engaging enemies in mountains and cities. Check the Houthi ambush vidyas where they fuck Saudi convoys up.

Stay German for defense industry, logistics (why does no one think of reality?) and equipment and hardware commonality in detail.

>>33400604
"I never wanted high angle fire or gun depression and the sides of my turret were designed by retards to deflect RPGs and other projectiles into my turret ring but tech-illiterate dumbfux thinks it's kewl" sums it up.

>>33400604
Coax gun is absurdly tiny too. Dafug? Should be .50 BMG minimum. Lack of a ball mount for either gun means no self-defense without spinning the turret.

Drive that through a muddy field with ditches and see how it works out.

Ground pressure, what is it?

>>33401538
Bergdahl is available!

>>33401590
It's a tank, with fucking tracks for low ground pressure ergo it doesn't need a "base plate" and that abortion isn't located or shaped to be useful as such.

>>33401590
Telescoping cargo bin is extra useless weight compared to a more versatile (can double as bar armor and hold odd-shaped objects) bustle rack.

>>33401970

SPGs still need baseplates, especially if they are using guns bigger than 155mm. Having your suspensions take the shock from shooting a 203 will result in your maintenance people beating your to death with a tanker bar.

Things like the 2S7 Pion and M110 have base plates, despite having tracks and weighing 40 tons.

>>33402253
Main gun can't react fast enough, but suitable radar could also work with APS systems and be dual use.

Airlift tonnage matters. Believe it or not even a few hundred pounds (no misprint) is of interest to TACOM. Bizarre shit but that was the mood a couple years ago when I got to be a minion at a conference at Benning.

>>33402253
Yes of course, any next gen MBT will include AESA radars
You need sensors like this for your active protection system, also good for reduced vision situations/night time/automated searching

Now you are talking about missile salvo's that are more expensive than the tank, which is easily countered by smoke grenades

>>33402312
I think the US next generation MBT (all AFV's for that matter) will have a stripped down, less capable but more rugged version of EODAS.

Current pilot feedback for EODAS is overwhelmingly positive, and that's on jets which traditionally have great visibility. Tanks and other AFVs have traditionally awful visibility, giving tanker the ability to see through their tank is utterly game changing.

Imaging the possibility of a tank commander, seeing the outside world through HMDs, with a helmet-cued remote weapon station. That's going to be a nightmare for the enemy in urban warfare. If the TC sees you while being perfectly safe buttoned up, you die.

>>33406801
>The PL-01 attempts its almost magical infrared signature reduction via the installation of temperature controlled wafers that blanket its exterior. This chameleon's skin of sorts, allows the tank's skin to match the infra-red signature of its surroundings. It does this by processing what small infrared sensors mounted around the tank detect, and then displays a pattern on the tank's honeycomb-like covering that best matches the infrared data collected.

As a former gunner, this freaks me out a little.
