  1. It save precious volumes (short exhaust line, saving insulation...). It’s not a bad idea.
  2. Yes. But there compartment are into the crew compartment.
  3. Yes. They are. A one piece ammo is so long, you can’t find tiny place to stow it. Not the least point : segregation of ammo from the crew is called to improve the whole tank survivability.

  12. What is the use for both large boxes in front of the turret ?
