The Tang Army's Type 96 main battle tank uses an autoloader, boasting a high firing rate and fast reloading, advantages that need no further elaboration. However, it only carries 41 rounds, which isn't considered a large amount.
This ammunition count is not small for modern main battle tanks, but it seems somewhat insufficient when compared to the World War II era, where the mainstream ammunition count for 75mm and 88mm cannons was around 70 rounds...
Why do modern main battle tanks only carry four or fifty rounds of main gun ammunition? Because, on modern battlefields, rarely will tank units engage in high-intensity continuous charges. Everyone uses anti-tank weapons, including armed helicopters and anti-tank missiles, to stop tank advances.
