T34 Heavy Tank
Developed in 1945 as a modernization of the T30 heavy tank. The vehicle was equipped with the 120 mm T53 gun and the new Continental AV-1790 engine. Because of the decline in heavy tank development after the end of World War II, the T34 never entered service. The prototypes were...
On 20.5.1952, Ministry of Defense industry of USSR organized a meeting with tank constructors and with the marshal of tank forces, I.S.Bogdanov, to discuss the future of armored forces development. The result of this meeting was a set of tank requirements from 18.6.1952. The resulting tank was...
I can't find any thread on here regarding the Nemesis MBT, a British project with some US/Commonwealth contributions.

Latest concept design for K3 came out and I felt it is good time to post general summary on the development of the tank.
Shown in the background, visual image suggest it will use 130mm gun, and has cockpit module similar to Russian T-14 Armata.
History
The goal of the XK3 project is to...

In the story I am planning, I would love to feature planes' fights and infantry fighting vehicles' fights.
I tried to look for myself but the research result were somewhat small or didn't correspond to what I was looking for.
Since I am not an aviation or aereospace engineer, military or...
As we know the Russians managed to standardise their tanks forces in the 60s and 70s on two designs: The T55 and later the T72.
What tank should NATO have chosen if politics had been no object?

At present it looks unlikely if the Army will need a Challenger 2 replacement for the foreseeable
future. I got into hot water for suggesting that when and if we ever did, we should take a leaf out of the Australian or Canadian book and buy off the shelf.
What options are out there? What would...
The Challenger tank was arguably born in about 1970 when the UK, impressed by the performance of their BURLINGTON (Chobham) armour, but concerned that a wholly new MBT would not be in service before about 1985, proposed the development of a near-term improved tank using some existing components...

There is little detail about the MBT-80 a British and german effort to find a replacement MBT, evetually they went their own ways. Any better photos than this out there?
I am looking for the competing design of General Motors Corporation that ran against, and lost to the Chrysler Corporation's Main Battle Tank design of 1973, that would become the now famous 'M1 Abrams MBT'
Pictures, drawings and technical data please if you have it
