The armor looks too thin on top.

The military has been handling that for decades.

Lol sorry I was being a bit sarcastic but if it can run in a silent mode then it is going to have to have some form of a battery pack bigger than my ford pickup. Seems I recall another diesel electric tank now what was its name oh yea Maus 😂
Seriously diesel/electric makes sense been used on locomotives for decades. Putting the crew together in a compartment separate from ammunition should make crew survivability better. Of course everything gets more technologically complicated auto loaders remote targeting…Not necessarily good in a battlefield environment if it fails

Wow. A 30 mm. cannon instead of either a 7.62 machine gun, a .50 caliber machine gun, a 20 mm cannon, or even a 25 mm cannon. I hope their not taking automation too far, and have some manual back up.
