The Leopard 1A4 is a significant improvement in the Leopard 1 line of MBTs (Main Battle Tanks). It is acquired after the Leopard 1A3. It has improved rear and side armor (+1), higher accuracy (+1), the stabilizer improves from Bad to Normal, and the optics improve from Poor to Normal.
The Leopard 1A4 formed the sixth batch of 250 vehicles, delivery starting in 1974 and with last deliveries in 1976. The 1A4 was externally similar to the 1A3, but included a new computerized fire control system and the new EMES 12A1 sighting system to aim it.
In addition the commander was provided with his own independent night sighting system, the PERI R12. The new equipment used up space and the ammunition load was reduced to 55 rounds, of which 42 were stored in the magazine to the left of the driver.
