The A7V has additional hull front armor to increase its survivability, with reinforced suspension. Its L\/55 120mm gun can take on enemy armor up to five kilometers away. Other design evolutions include a sight device to amplify vision in poor visibility, new tracks and a new turret rear basket. 104 existing tanks are to be upgraded to A7V spec, and units began receiving them in September 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis large scale 1\/16 radio control tank recreates the German Main Battle Tank Leopard 2 A7V.
