New model german tank has as semi auto loader. Give you 2 secs to stick something in (can't remember what it is) along with the shell.

Is it as Ack says cause of the 140MM gun?

Any links? All I have heard about is the Cancelled leopard 2 project.

I believe that is a case with all autoloader systems to allow for the clearing of short rounds.

It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.

Well yes, but I was saying it doesn't load a full round in, you have to load the propellent or something in along with the shell. It still has a driver, gunner, commander, and a loader.
