Features!
Hatches, rotating turret, engine compartment, gun elevation, the basic stuff.
The Leopard's Rheinmetall L88 127mm gun is revolutionary in many ways. The first obvious feature is the vents on either side. These are used to cool what is effectively a railgun lining the barrel. This gives leopard massive range and lethal accuracy. The gun also chambers an innovative ammunition type. A solid propellent, similar in consistency to C4 is used to fire the round. The casing used to contain the rounds and propellent is also combustable, burning up after the round is fired, leaving no shell to dispose of. The high elevation capability of the Leopard also allows it to preform a limited artillery role.
