It's only prototype there will be 4 prototype, there hasn't been any firing and armour tests yet only movement and maneuvers so it's not Final tank because final tank will be serial produced in 2015 or 2016. In pictures we can see difference between prototype 1 and 2.

 

[Skull and Bones]

One of the best looking tank ever, after Leopard NG. And the specs remains to be seen.

they never went for an autoloader on purpose these have been long thought but autoloader has problems and i heard not reliable , there was an interview saying why they never went for one , but abrams and many tanks dont have an autolaoder still i think leopard hasnt got auto loader aswell

trust me there will be quite some differences between final tank because this is still prototype 2 for every problem they find they will improve it just example on first pictures given to public look at side

you can see looks like added armour and some different i think protoype 4 aka final tank will look very good even i like this
