as the title is, was there not much difference until 2a5?

also if possible can someone help me identify the things shown here in this specific Leopard photo , like the camera thing surrounded in that little box part at the front left

I just wanted to share with you my small collection from my active service on the Leopard 1A5:

Back in my active service time I won a trophy for exceptional gunnery skills consisting of an empty 105mm brass DM12 HEAT shell where a miniature version of my tank was mounted as a small diorama on top, protected by a glass cylinder from an original Petromax field oil lamp and a top cover to resemble the original munition with its distance fuse.

Years later after my demission, when the last tanks were put out of service in Germany and got sold to other countries, I also had the chance to receive my original tankers hood and keys for the gunner/commander’s station in an auction.

I modified the hood and integrated a Bluetooth receiver module allowing me to use it as a real functional headset wirelessly, maintaining the original breaking cable.

Trying new camouflage for it, what are your thoughts?

Its connectec from the Driver seat to the side of the Hull

This is an M4 Sherman model from Forces of Valor. I have a question about the back portion of the specifically.

I don't see the metal crank to turn the engine at the back. It surely would have the Radial Engine, right? So, is this just a minor inaccuracy or did some simply don't put them in the back?

Can't find any war time images that doesn't have them.

Damage seems pretty minimal. Idk why you would fire on a tank with a sniper lol
