Tank rounds and details

Sorry!
Unfortunately it is too complicated and time-consuming to cover rounds of all nations; and as such, as an ongoing project of mine, there is this Google Sheets document you can browse instead:

The VTGS was made upon the Leopard 1A3, presumably the 1972 - 1974 model from the fifth production batch, which had a welded turret replacing the famed cast turret. The image above shows a Leopard 1A2, presumably from the same batch, stripped down to see the cast turret. Next to it is the Leopard 1A3 from the ffith production batch with the welded turret. The tank's internal changes were made mainly to allow it to don its new "costume" or look, as t...
