Description

The HT6A4, as the blurb states, is the last of the 105mm armed HT6 tanks; in addition to what's mentioned there, it has a new turret, a more easily accessible engine block for maintenance purposes, an improved gun, and giant searchlight compatibility. It's actually the culmination of several designs;

HT6 - base model, shown before
HT6A1 - second production variant, with turret power source for illumination equipment
HT6A2 - First engine upgrade
HT6A3 - New gun, gun stabilisation
HT6A4 - Laser rangefinder, second engine upgrade, NBC protection, heavier armour and turret, improved hydraulics (to compensate for added weight)

By now, the HT6A4 was already quite a formidable, if not still slightly aged, tank; by 1975, it would be superseded by the most radical advance within the HT6 family to date.
