The MBT-70 (German: KPz 70) was a 1960s German-U.S. joint project to develop a new main battle tank, which was to be equipped with a number of advanced features. It utilized a newly developed hydropneumatic "kneeling" suspension and housed the entire crew in the large turret. The MBT-70 was armed with a 152mm XM150 gun/launcher, which could use conventional ammunition and the Shillelagh missile for long range combat.[2]

By 1969 the project was well over budget and Germany withdrew from the effort, developing a new main battle tank on their own instead (the Leopard 2). In the US the development continued for a short time, until in 1971 when Congress cancelled the program. The MBT-70 is the failed predecessor of the Leopard 2 and the M1 Abrams, the current main battle tanks of both countries.

The MBT-70′s 20mm pop-up cannon.

Interestingly enough, both the Star-ship US tanks and the MBT-70 used the Shillelagh missile, as did the Sheridan Calvary tanks. The Shillelagh’s effectiveness was debatable, but it is an interesting example to show that it wasn’t just the Warsaw pact that had gun based missile tanks.
