- Description
- The K1A1 is a Main Battle Tank and a modernized variant of the South Korean K1, which was developed with Chrysler (later General Dynamics) in the 1980s and entered ROK Army service in 1987. The K1A1 upgrade replaced the 105 mm gun with a 120 mm smoothbore and improved fire control and armour. In-game it is a tracked vehicle weighing 53.2 tonnes with a crew of four, powered by an MTU MB 871 Ka-501 diesel producing 1,200 horsepower for 22.6 hp/t and 65 km/h forward.
The main armament is the 120mm KM256 with K277 and K276 and a 6-second reload; secondary armament includes a coaxial 7.62mm M60E2-1, a commander’s 12.7mm M2, and a loader’s 7.62mm M60D. The turret is stabilized and has smoke grenades, a laser rangefinder, and FCS with lead; sights include second-generation green-hot thermals. Active suspension provides ride height and pitch adjustment.
