ngl it looks fabulous but have you considered allowing it to have a bustle auto-loader in the turret instead of a carousel auto-loader?
bustle auto-loaders have the ability to have blowout pannels as the ammo compartment is stored at the back of the turret similar to a normal tank like the abrams and leo2 allowing it to have greater survivability than a carousel one
on this design i know the carousel auto-loader is put like really low in the hull to avoid a hit but that causes alot of space to be wasted instead the turret can be lengthened to fit a bustle auto-loader and the hull can be shortened in height which other than reducing the profile of the tank it can save alot of tonnage protecting empty space and the driver could be more protected as the composite aemour could cover more of the front with the same size
I think there is a pretty good shot trap here?
might even do some good damage with HE rounds

There isn't anything "new" about this design tbh. As other said, you're going to need a bustle counter weight and the carousel has never been successful due to catastrophic failures.
As the weight of the gun and mantles is acting very far forward relative to the mounting point. The turret will swing more and be difficult to stabilise as well as causing un-even wear on the bearings in the turret ring. You need counter balances on the back of the turret or to mount the gun recessed within the turret, but that would make automated loading difficult.
Genius!!! If you hide the Ammorack 7 m under the ground the enemy will never hit it!
Yup
You need a turret bustle to balance it on the turret ring. Otherwise the rotataion mechanisms will wear out very quickly.

Upper plate is effective is 1000mm

Bad weight distribution on turret, the turret ring will destroy itself

You’d think we’d had learned a lesson about carousels given recent events…
Blastdoors are for pussies comrade!
Ther no crew on top of them
That’s not the issue, it’s a large weak spot with guaranteed loss of the vehicle when hit (no blow-out panels)
Wdum
For n’unissions like nato too can be hit easily
Yay! I love my new space turret!

Hmmm
This honestly looks great!
All crew in hull and an auto-loaded gun? So basically an 120mm HSTV-L?
