i think AK 2 will be completley new tank with new design
it will be a diferent for sure.
it is aimed to have the ability to carry extra weapons ie more shells for all its weapon systems! this alone will require the AK II to grow bigger in size. saying that PA will not want it to go into heavy category and therefore it wont be that much BIGGER!!
also it was rumored to have a better auto-loader and the compartment for crew to be better protected, rather insulated from shell storage compartment!
a Active protection system, for which the shorta was a candidate which is now available with AK I, it may be that it is incorporated to AK I not at full production level as yet and is only meant ot be a trail for AK II.
the engine will also grow slightly powerfull with some extre 300HP!
all these upgrades point to an new and slightly bigger design!!
regards!
