There is now a phone box mounted on the side, for the infantry to use to talk to the crew.Didn't Shermans have those in World War II? Next upgrade will probably add a hatch in the floor.

Yup. The military is always relearning with dead and blood the lessons it forgot. What kind of expert, billion dollar tank designers forgot the phone? US Armor design branch must of fought this tooth and nail. Colonels screaming at Colonels for a year, at least.

"Uhhh, could you move it over a little to the left, you parked on my car!!"
