Arjun MK1

It is a prettey monster, isent it...

Looks nice actually.
Dunno about placing the optics smack in the front of the turret armor but I'm sure the designers had their reasons.

turret looks weird and it doesent look armourde.

I don't know if the turret looks weird so much, but it could use a better focus on sloped armor. Flat panels on the turret, IMO provide a better target for an armor piercing round. Sloped turrets deflect direct hits at least to some degree. Still, it looks to be an excellent tank on the whole.

The turrent (flat front) looks alot like Leo 2 A4, well maybe not much besides it beeing flat but i hope you get what i ment with it
