@Beny Karachun.
Autoloader is a necessity for the 130mm.
And yeah, maintance for tracks is easier with a fourth crewman BUT you have higher costs and need larger space.
The KF51 takes a modernized powerpack from the Leo2, transmission etc. but the hull and all other stuff is build with most modern materials, so it weights ONLY 59t (!) with much higher value of armour than any other tank.
It's safe against NLAW, TOW-2B etc.
Vs Javlin or Spike variants I'm not sure but yeah, going in the right direction.
