Projet Murat (France, Tier-10, MT, premium)

The tank project had two key features—a new layout of the fighting cab and a double-hull tracked propeller. According to the developers, it could take the characteristics of firepower and mobility to a new level. The fighting cab was divided into compartments for the crew and guns. The autoloader consisted of a 3-shot main loading system and an auxiliary mechanized stowage system. The design made it possible to load the gun and replenish the main stowage without mounting the gun to a fixed loading angle, which significantly increased the rate of fire and crew comfort. The track was divided into two parts, allowing the vehicle to remain maneuverable even if hit by a mine. However, when using a double-loop propeller, the weight of the chassis increased, and the transmission and movement control became more complex. The project didn’t reach the production stage.

Leclerc Series 1

After the failure of a joint effort between France and Germany to design a new main battle tank, France undertook the initiative that eventually produced the Leclerc. Plans for the Leclerc included several advanced features, including modular composite armor, thermal profile reduction, an autoloader, and a 120 mm smoothbore gun designed for increased muzzle velocity. The vehicle entered service in 1992, with the T3 series considered the beginning of its official production run. It remains in service today with the armies of France and the United Arab Emirates.
