Auto-loader

Good, short video on the T-72 and similar main gun auto-loading system.

Advantage: 1 less crew needed and thus the tank weighs less. Might even be some ammo logistics advantages depending how your supply-chain works.

Disadvantage: Bad crew survival if penetrated by an anti-tank round.

How about an auto-loader for the M-1 tank?
