really nice upgrade, but what about an Autoloader? does it have one similar to the Type96(T-72)? I am asking because the 125mm uses 2part ammunition but if it would have no autolader there would be just a crew of 3
and i believe you switched the number of the rounds of the coaxial MG and the commanders HMG

Today marks the 48th Victory Day of The People's Republic of Bangladesh.

16th December, 1971 is the day Pakistan surrendered after a long and bloody 9 months war which costed the lives of 3 million Bengalis and thus the sovereign nation of Bangladesh was born.

May all the people who gave their lives to liberate our motherland rest in peace.

I'll post more photos and videos from 1971 liberation war in another thread.
