EMBT (Enhanced Main Battle Tank)

Unlike the previous EMBT of 2018, the EMBT displayed in 2022 features a completely new purpose-built turret equipped with the Trophy APS, a remotely controlled 30mm autocannon, and a very hefty commander sight equipped with a 7.62mm MG.

Been mulling this for a couple days, and I think if you're going 2+2 in a tank concept you might be better off putting the gunner in the hull with the driver. Of the four positions, driver obviously stays in the hull and TC stays in the turret so they can put their head up. If gunner is in the hull, the fourth crew member can operate a drone just as well as they could in the hull. But they can also stick their head up and look around, which gunners don't often do, and if the autoloader has an issue they can try to fix it or maybe even manually load shell or two. With the gunner in the turret, either they or the TC would have to tend to any gun/autoloader trouble which is a lot more inconvenient to their roles.
 
I think the trend is toward largely interchangeable crew stations anyway. The descriptions of the KF51 indicate that the only reason the gunner's station is specialized is that the legacy gunners sight can't network to multiple stations. A future model might be able to run the main gun from any station as needed.
 
The turret face appears filled with optics. So much so, I wonder about it's armour capability. Surely indirect optics would be better and less vulnerable?
 
Careful mate, watch the 'logic' there. Not popular..........

there is 2 side projects related to this development.
Germany developed the Leopard 2 A-RC 3.0 & the Leopard 2A4 Panther EVO
France developed the Leclerc Evolution which is a Leclerc with EMBT 2022's turret

Well next to Panther EVO we also see a more evolved KF51 Design.
 
My submariner brain translates EMBT as Emergency Main Ballast Tank blow system. (What failed bad on Thresher)

That turret seems to have a whole lot of sensors outside of the armor...
