The Rinoceronte is an Italian heavy tank. At the turn of the 1960s and 1970s, a number of countries started developing vehicles with unmanned turrets to improve crew survival. Italian military engineers decided to adopt these innovations, but chose to use existing designs. The turret was based on the German turret from the advanced KPz 3 tank. The hull configuration was also adopted from German vehicles. At the same time, Italian engineers tried to increase the armor thickness to the maximum. To improve the projectile resistance of the frontal armor, it was decided to make it similar to the "pike nose" shape. Development was discontinued at the drafting stage.

The Aufklärungspanzer Panther is a German light tank. A project for a heavy reconnaissance vehicle based on the Panther tank. The use of the hull and chassis of the existing tank would have significantly facilitated the mass production of the new vehicles; a smaller turret would have decreased the weight and improved the maneuverability of the vehicle. However, the project was discontinued at a development stage.

Falcon T92 U.S.A. Light Tank a project of an airborne light tank developed by the Aircraft Armaments as a replacement for the M41. The design incorporated many innovations. Two prototypes were manufactured, which underwent trials at Aberdeen Proving Ground. In June 1958, the project was canceled.

FV3805 | U.K. Artillery a modification of the Centurion featuring a 140 mm howitzer. A total of 2 prototypes were built in 1956, but the development of the FV3805 was discontinued in 1960. The vehicle never saw service.

Jackal M4A4 FL10 U.K. Medium Tank a Sherman M4A4 fitted with the FL-10 turret from the French AMX-13 light tank.

The TNH T Vz. 51 is a Czechoslovakian heavy tank. In the early 1950s, the ČKD company developed a project of a heavy tank for the Czechoslovakian Army based on concepts of the Soviet and German tank-building schools combined with its own ideas. The project was discontinued due to the unification of armament of Warsaw Pact countries. No prototypes were ever built.

RamRod Mercenaries Light Tank a combination of Allied and Axis engineering gives rise to this hard-hitting brawler. Scouts use speed and camouflage to their advantage. Keep moving, and use cover to keep enemies in your team’s sights.

Cobra a project for a medium tank with an oscillating turret, developed in 1954 by the officers in the 7th year of study of the Technical Personnel faculty of the Royal Military College of Science (Shrivenham, U.K.). Existed in blueprints and in one prototype.

Type 62-I China medium tank. As a result of its heavy losses in the Sino-Vietnamese War of 1979, the People’s Liberation Army undertook a program to modernize its Type 62 vehicles. Known as the Type 62-I or by its factory designation, WZ-131A, the upgrade package is said to have included 33 modifications, including a protective shield around the 12.7mm heavy machine gun and a laser rangefinder.

The Kampfpanzer 50 t is a German medium tank. One of the projects of a medium tank that was developed in Germany in the 1960s. The vehicle was supposed to feature a powerful gun and decent armor. However, development was discontinued at the documentation design stage.

The Type 61 is a Japanese medium tank. The first tank developed in Japan after WWII. It was developed from 1954 through 1961 on the basis of the American M47 tank. The dimensions of the vehicle were decreased and the armor was reduced. As a result, the weight of the tank was lighter, and the tank complied with the requirements of the Japanese armed forces.

The VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. B is a German heavy tank. Two designs of this vehicle (one with the forward-mounted turret and the other with the rear-mounted turret) were drawn up by Ferdinand Porsche. The tank never saw mass production. It has a thicker frontal armour than its brother, the E-75. It carries the same gun ordinance, but the VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. B has a slightly better gun reload, accuracy, and handling (but worse gun depression) thanks to its turret stats. The transmission is located in the middle, which prevents engine damage from frontal hits, but there is a driver port (albeit small) on the front, and thinner sides. Thus, angling the tank is an absolute must in order to survive.

The T54E1 is an American medium tank. A medium tank with an oscillating turret and automatic loading. Developed on the basis of the M48 tank in mid-50s. Two prototypes were built. However, during trials automatic loading proved faulty and the development was discontinued in 1957.

The Comet is a British medium tank. A further development of the Cromwell cruiser tank, this British tank saw service in World War II. A total of 1,186 vehicles were manufactured from September 1944 through to late 1945. The Comet is a tank well suited for flanking, as its armor is neither good nor bad for its class; it won't survive brawls for long periods of time. It sports a couple of advantages over the Cromwell, such as a gun mantlet and lowered profile on the upgraded turret. However, it gets an "almost" inadequate top gun, barely an upgrade over the 75mm HV.

The Centurion Action X is a British medium tank. The Action X turret was planned to be used for later variants of the Centurion tank. One prototype of the turret was mounted on the chassis of the Centurion Mark 7, and another was used for ballistic trials. The vehicles with the Action X turret never entered mass production or saw service. Replaced the FV4202 in patch 9.12. Hard-hitting medium tank with great aiming time and decent mobility, While Action X turret provides decent protection. But, With its large size, It was vulnerable especially against SPG if you're not moving around. The Centurion Action X marks the end of its British medium line.

The Progetto M35 mod. 46 is an Italian medium tank. Conceptualization of a draft design developed at the request of General Francesco Rossi who believed that only light vehicles weighing up to 35 tons would be effective in a new war. Such an innovative design was not approved; development was discontinued when Italy joined the Standard Tank project.

The UDES 15/16 is a Swedish medium tank. Further development of the UDES 14. The project combined the best elements of the UDES 15 (developed by Bofors) and the UDES 16 (developed by Hägglunds). The project became the main variant of traditional design for a Swedish tank, but later it was discontinued in favor of a variant with a remotely controlled turret. The full-scale prototype was built, and elements of the vehicle were used in subsequent Swedish projects. The UDES 15/16 marks the end of its Swedish medium line.

The T-72A model, introduced in 1979, proved to be a major update to the T-72 tank. Improvements included an added laser rangefinder, an electronic fire control, a new side skirt design, smoke grenade dischargers, and ceramic rod composite armor to reinforce the turret. The T-72A remained in production until 1985, with the Soviet Army taking possession of over 5,200 units.

Originally, Romania had planned to fit its indigenous main battle tanks with an 800-hp engine, similar to the Leopard 1. However, trade restrictions between Warsaw Pact nations and NATO prevented Romania from importing one for the TR-580. As a result, Romania pursued an aggressive reverse engineering program to make its own engine, which it used with components such as a 100mm gun with a fume extractor and thermal sleeve to create the TR-85.

The TR-580 is a second generation MBT. This tank is a variant of the Soviet T-55 design and was built entirely in Romania. The Romanian army built almost 400 of these tanks, 140 of which were exported. The TR-580 was produced from 1974 till 1985, when the 800 hp engine finally became available and the tank with it was redesigned TR-800.

In the 1960s, British researchers at a facility in Chobham developed a new type of composite armor, one that would eventually prove effective against explosive warheads. As successful as it was in its initial trials, however, it needed to be fitted to a vehicle for a true test. The vehicle designed to use this new “Chobham armor” was built in the 1970s with parts from Chieftain Mk. 5 battle tanks.

Minuteman T29 American Heavy Tank. Development of this experimental heavy tank started in September 1944. The construction and trials of the prototypes continued until October 1947. However, the T29 did not enter mass production.

The T71 DA is an American light tank. Experimental airborne light tank with an oscillating turret and automatic loading. Developed by Detroit Arsenal from 1952 through 1953 as a replacement for M41. The armament was deemed ineffective, and the development was stopped after one wooden prototype had been built. The T71 DA marks the end of its American light line.

A variant of the successful T-72A tank, the T-72AV was constructed with bricks of Kontakt-1 Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA) around the hull and turret to protect against shaped charge attacks. The “V” stands for взрывной, or vzryvnoy, meaning “explosive.”

The TR-580 is a second generation MBT. This tank is a variant of the Soviet T-55 design and was built entirely in Romania. The Romanian army built almost 400 of these tanks, 140 of which were exported. After the events of Prague Spring jar was a period of political liberalization in Czechoslovakia during the era of its domination by the Soviet Union after World War II.
